Requirements

lfm is written in Python language and has a text-based ncurses interface.

It should run with Python v3.4 or higher and doesn't need additional modules or any other dependencies, only those provided by the python standard library.

For systems with Python v2.x only, use the old version lfm v2.3.

All modern UNIX flavours (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc) should run it without problems. But note I mostly tested the new 3.x series on Linux. If they appear any issues please notify me.

Installation

lfm is very easy to install, select one of these options.

• First, check if your OS include lfm in their repositories. Type as root:

  # dnf install lfm       # fedora/redhat/centos/…

  # pacman -S lfm         # archlinux

  # apt-get install lfm   # debian/ubuntu/mint/…

  NOTE 1: be sure to install lfm version 3 or higher, not old version 2.3!

  NOTE 2: lfm is not usually included in main distributions repositories.

• Using pip:

  $ pip install lfm

• To install from sources:

  1. Download sources
  2. Uncompress file: $ tar xvfz lfm-3.1.tar.gz
  3. Enter the directory and build: $ python setup.py build
  4. Install, as root: # python setup.py install

  WARNING: Remember lfm 3.x requires Python 3.4+. If you have installed both python 2.x and 3.x versions on your system, change python with python3 and pip with pip3 above.

Now to run it:

$ lfm

and to change default settings:

General Menu [F9] -> Edit Configuration [c]

To let lfm to change to panel's current directory after quiting with q or F10 keys, you must add next code to /etc/bashrc or to your ~/.bashrc:

lfm()
{
      /usr/bin/lfm "$@"             # type here full path to lfm script
      LFMPATHFILE=/tmp/lfm-$$.path
      cd "`cat $LFMPATHFILE`" && rm -f $LFMPATHFILE
}

If you don't use bash or csh shell, above lines could differ.

Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x

Some notes about the upgrade process from lfm version 2.x to 3.x:

• lfm 3.0 has been almost completely rewritten from scratch, and it hasn't been tested as much as lfm v2.x series on non-linux OS.
• lfm 3.x requires python 3.4+, it will not work with python 2.x.
• Configuration has moved from the file ~/.lfmrc to the directory ~/.config/lfm/. You can delete ~/.lfmrc from your system as it is not used anymore. See section Customization later.
• Also, note that some key bindings and PowerCLI variables have changed since previous versions. Read documentation carefully.
• pyview —the file viewer— has been removed from lfm package, as well as old references to it in configuration, code and documentation. Thus, default viewer has been changed to less. See FAQ entry.

'Last File Manager' is a powerful file manager for UNIX console.
It has a curses interface and it's written in Python version 3.4+.
Released under GNU Public License, read COPYING file for more details.

As mentioned in the Installation section, quitting lfm with q or F10 keys will leave you in the directory of active tab, if you want to go back to the directory you started lfm from, quit the program using Ctrl-q.

When running lfm writes some events to the log file ~/.config/lfm/lfm.log. Passing -d or --debug to lfm increments the verbosity of the logs.

Start the program with lfm -w or lfm --use-wide-chars to enable the support for East Asian languages. Note you could enable this feature in the configuration permanently. This option is not enabled by default as it makes the program a bit slower. There is an entry in the FAQ with more information on this regard.

Files name encoding

Since v3.0, lfm uses UTF-8 encoding.

Since v2.2, lfm was rewritten to always use unicode strings internally, but employ terminal encoding (f.e. UTF-8) to interact with the user in input forms, to display contents, and to pass commands to run in shell.

When lfm detects a file with invalid encoding name it asks the user to convert it (can be automatic with the proper option in the configuration). If not converted, lfm will display the file but won't operate on it.

Virtual File Systems (VFS)

You can navigate inside some special files (known as vfs files in lfm) just entering into them (press enter or cursor_right when the cursor bar is over one of these files). By now, supported types are .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .zip, .rar, and .7z files.

lfm even supports navigating nested compressed files (vfs inside vfs)!

The virtual directory name (path_to_vfs_file#vfs/dir) is not propagated, so the temporary directory (/tmp/tmpc396zode.lfm/dir) could be displayed in the copy/move/… dialogs or when view/edit/… a file, but this is just an estetic issue.

When returning from one of such vfs files, a question dialog appears asking to allow you to regenerate the vfs file and update all changes (i.e., it is compressed again, so it could be slow in some machines), but lfm checks if it can do first, to avoid waste of time. This behaviour (rebuild or not rebuild, ask it or not) can be modified in the configuration file. By default the question is showed but it's set to not regenerate vfs.

Note that in the case of panelize vfs type (vfs with matched files after find/grep), rebuild will cause that all files modifications or deletions be translated to the original directory. So be careful!

lfm doesn't implement remote vfs such as ssh, ftp, smb, webdav… This is a design criterion, we don't want to add external dependencies beyond python standard library. If you need to access remote file systems you could mount them using something like fuse and treat them as local directories from inside lfm. Look at the FAQ section to learn how.

Find & grep

You can find and grep for files matching a given pattern (default / key).

Then you can select some actions to perform:

• go: chdir to the directory containing the selected file
• panelize: create a VFS with matched files
• view: view selected file
• edit: edit selected file
• do: exec on selected file (output is not captured)
• quit: quit dialog

Note that in the case of panelize vfs, rebuild will cause that all files modifications or deletions be translated to the original directory. So be careful!

Filters

Filters can be used in tabs to hide some files or directories from the view.

Use Ctrl-f to edit current filter. You could see some indication on the frame of pane at the top-right position: for example .f would mean dotfiles are shown (.) and there is an active filter (f).

The filters are a property of a tab, so they remain active even when chdir. If you what to disable, edit and delete. The default blank filter is the same as !*, i.e. don't hide anything, show all files and directories.

Filters can look complex at first sight, but just remember a filter defines the files to hide. They are implemented as globs. Some examples:

• *.png,*.jpg: hide all PNG and JPEG files
• *.jpg,!*shot*: hide all JPEG files except those with 'shot' in the name
• *,!*py: hide all except python source files

Bookmarks

The user can define up to 35 bookmarks, which are associated to characters 0-9, a-z. Upper and lower variant of a letter represent the same bookmark.

From the main interface use B key and then select a letter to set a bookmark for current directory. Later press b and this same character to go back to the stored path. Ctrl-d allows to select the bookmark from a list.

Note you can insert a bookmark path in EntryLine widgets or PowerCLI.

Move files and directories

You can choose between 2 different functions to move files and directories:

• move_file: old implementation
• move_file2: alternative version using shtutil.move instead of copy & delete. Faster but less control of errors. Default

Choose the one you prefer and associate it with the F6 (default key) in the key bindings file.

Some historical notes

[These comments are probably not necessary nowdays, but I keep them here anyway.]

Since version 0.90, lfm needs ncurses >= v5.x to handle terminal resizing.

Python v2.5+ and ncurses v5.4+ to use wide characters.

Note that python curses module should be linked against ncursesw library (instead of ncurses) to get wide characters support. This is the usual case in later versions of Linux distributions, but maybe not the case in older Linux or other UNIX platforms. Thus, expect problems when using multibyte file names (f.e. UTF-8 or latin-1 encoded) if your curses module isn't compiled against ncursesw. Anyway, I hope this issue will disappear with new releases of those platforms eventually.

Consult Files name encoding section below for more information about support of different encodings.

Variables substitution

There are a lot of variables you can use to simplify your command typing. Specially useful in loops to apply the same command to many files.

• $f: file name including extension
• $v: same than $f
• $E: file name without extension
• $e: extension
• $p: active directory
• $o: other pane directory
• $b#: path in bookmark #
• $s: all selected files, space-separated and enclosed between "
• $a: all files, space-separated and enclosed between "
• $i: loop index, starting at 1
• $tm: file modification date and time
• $ta: file access date and time
• $tc: file creation date and time
• $tn: now (date and time)
• $dm: file modification date
• $da: file access date
• $dc: file creation date
• $dn: now (only date)

Python execution

You can run a subset of python language code in a sandbox, but note this sandbox doesn't allow to import modules or access anything outside for security reasons. But DON'T TRUST IT'S SECURE.

The sandbox is a very limited environment but powerful enough to satisfy common needs, even you can use the variables inside the code.

Code must be enclosed between { }. You can even use different code chunks in the same command. Consult the examples.

Examples

• copy current file (or all selected files in a loop) to the other pane path:

  cp $f $o
  

• move selected files to path stored in bookmark #3 (no loop):

  mv $s "$b3"
  

  We have enclosed $b3 between " here in case the path could contain spaces.

• show all python files in a directory:

  find /to/path -name "*.py"
  

• open current file with eog in background and continue inmediately in lfm:

  eog [Ctrl-v] &
  

• find python files containing some special words in the background and redirect output to a file:

  find . -name "*py" -print0 | xargs --null grep -EHcni "TODO|WARNING|FIXME|BUG" > output.txt &
  

  Note that if you run a command in the background you won't get any feedback by default, that's why we redirect the output to a file.

• edit current file with vim in the console:

  vim %F $
  

  Note you must end the line with a % if the command will use the terminal.

• convert file (or all selected) to lowercase and change .bak extension to .orig. F.e., FiLeFOO.bak => filefoo.orig:

  mv $f {$f.lower().replace('.bak', '.orig')}
  

• loop over selected files, copy to the other pane path and rename. F.e., if /current/path/img1234.jpeg is the 13th file in the selection and was created on 2010/07/22 at 19:43:22 => /other/path/13. 20100722194322 - IMG1234.jpg:

  cp $f "$o/{'%2.2d. %s - %s' % ($i, $tm.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%S'), $E.upper())}.jpg"
  

  Yes, a stupid convoluted example, but it clearly shows how powerful PowerCLI is. Also observe that as the target file name contain spaces, the whole destination must be surrounded with ".

Random notes

• Paths or filenames with spaces or special characters must be enclosed between ". Study last example above
• Loops are only executed with selected files AND at least one of next variables present within the command: $f, $v, $F, $E, $i, $tm, $ta, $tc. Remember $a or $s never loop
• Note the differences of running commands with trailing & vs. $ vs. nothing
• If cursor is at the beginning of line, completion will try system programs. If it is in any other position, it will try files or directories first and if nothing is found then programs
• Although python code is executed inside a sandbox, it's not completely secure. Anyway, it's the same kind of security issues your system is exposed to when shell access is allowed

Key bindings

The currently used key bindings for the main user interface are stored in the ~/.config/lfm/lfm.keys file. To customize select General Menu [F9] -> Edit keys [k] from the program or if you edit the file directly be sure no instance of lfm is running.

Currently, it is not possible to modify the key bindings for the dialogs.

The format is:

<action>: key_combination_1 key_combination_2 …

Something like C-up means Control & cursor up keys pressed simultaneously and A-s means Alt & s keys pressed simultaneously. If the definition contains 2 or more bindings, all of them could be used, as is the case with C-u and , for panes_swap action below.

Consult Keys shortcuts section for more information.

Color themes

The current theme is stored in the ~/.config/lfm/lfm.theme file, where you can adapt the user interface colors to your likings. To customize select General Menu [F9] -> Edit theme [e] from the program or if you edit the file directly be sure no instance of lfm is running.

To edit this file be sure no instance of lfm is running.

Each entry represents a different entity. The format is:

<item>: foreground_color background_color

or to make an entity adopt the same colors as other previous one:

<item>: =<previous_item>

Valid colors are: white, black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan. Can use * before a foreground color to intensify.

Default theme is defined as:

########## lfm - Last File Manager - Theme ##########

# Format is:   item:  foreground  background
#        or:   item:  =previous_item
# Valid colors: white, black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan
# Can use * to intensify a foreground color
