Non-curses, KISS file manager for the terminal

Unlike most of the terminal file managers, CliFM replaces the traditional curses interface by a simple command-line interface. It is a file manager, but also a shell extension. Search for files, copy, rename, and trash some of them, but, at the same time, update/upgrade your system, add some cronjob, stop a service, and run nano (or vi, or emacs, if you like). Those familiar with the command line will find in a file manager based on it a desirable addition to its functionality. The command line is still there, never hidden.
