After moving from Windows to MacOS mc is the closest to Total Commander - the only software that I’m still missing from MacOS. Reminds me to DOS Navigator and Volkov Commander or even FAR

Try doublecmd[1], much better then tc, open source, updated frequently, works on all platforms. Oh and written in object pascal, which I like a lot!

Tried it on linux. It crashed while moving folder. Like the main thing it's used for.

It works fine for me. When did you tested it?

Well while note open-source (but still free), Marta is the best MacOS TotalCommander alternative: https://marta.sh/

Volkov Commander was so fast on my 486, amazing thing. Think it was written in assembly to get that speed.

Midnight Commander is available under Brew.

https://brew.sh/

The command to install it is:

brew install mc

Thanks, your comment was the one I was looking for, even though I had guessed that ‘brew install mc’ would work. I am curious how mc will fit in with tmux and emacs-nw.

With tmux it is seamless, screen as well.

I don't know anything about Emacs =)

FAR was awesome.
