I wrote a small program to browse folders in the terminal. The main inspiration was type-ahead search in GUI file managers. There exist several programs that are similar (see the listing in the README), but none of them do it quite the way I like, and often they have a very complex UI and a ton of features. I tried to make something that is obvious how to use and gets out of your way. (I also wanted an excuse to learn Rust.)
Let me know what you think!
A Small bit of trivia: tere means hi in Estonian.
On qwerty I think that's the case :)

Essentially the same UI.
I do think your program does add some features not found in VIM.

That's mentioned in the readme! :) I'm pretty happy with the name choice, it's short, doesn't seem to clash with other CLI tools, it can be interpreted as "terminal explorer", and has a kind of cute meaning as you say.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgunyho/tere/master/Cargo.lock | grep source | wc -l 51 How come that such a simple tool has more than half a century of dependencies? This is terrifying.
crossterm = "0.24.0"
dirs = "4.0.0"
regex = "1.5.4"
serde_json = "1.0"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["rc"] }
textwrap = "0.14"
unicode-segmentation = "1.7"
I guess one could write their own textwrap and probably also dirs, but other than that they all are probably vital to this tool.
The only reason this wouldn't be a problem in another language would be because that language already includes the functionality of such libraries
