lf (as in list files) is a modern alternative to ranger with significant improvements in terms of speed and reliability. This guide is intended to help users who are familiar with ranger to switch to lf more comfortably.

    The main reason for me still using ranger over lf is the reasonable defaults. I want to be able to install the file manager on a new system without having to configure basics like creating directorys or deleting files.

      The lfrc config in the linked repo is intended to fix that. Sure you still need to clone the config from github into your .config, but that is normally the case for quite a few tools.
