Directory Navigator
A modern terminal file manager built in Rust with Turbo Vision, inspired by DOS Navigator.
Familiar two-panel browsing, classic colors, keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls, rebuilt for modern computers. It runs directly in your terminalβno DOS emulator or graphical frontend.
Supports macOS, Windows and Linux. Install the latest published release from
crates.io:
cargo install directory-navigator. See Get started for build prerequisites.
Built on Turbo Vision
Turbo Vision for Rust powers the file panes, menus, dialogs, editors, viewers, utilities and Tetris. Its desktop and control system handles movable windows, selection, focus and input routing, while Directory Navigator keeps the classic DN appearance and adds Unicode text and modern filesystem handling.
