[Features] [Quickstart] [Plugins] [Wiki]

nnn (n³) is a full-featured terminal file manager. It's tiny, nearly 0-config and incredibly fast.

It is designed to be unobtrusive with smart workflows to match the trains of thought.

nnn can analyze disk usage, batch rename, launch apps and pick files. The plugin repository has tons of plugins to extend the capabilities further e.g. live previews, (un)mount disks, find & list, file/dir diff, upload files. A patch framework hosts sizable user-submitted patches which are subjective in nature.

Independent (neo)vim plugins - nnn.vim, vim-floaterm nnn wrapper and nnn.nvim (neovim exclusive).

Runs on the Pi, Termux (Android), Linux, macOS, BSD, Haiku, Cygwin, WSL, across DEs or a strictly CLI env.

Quickstart

  1. Install nnn and the dependencies you need.
  2. The desktop opener is default. Use -e to open text files in the terminal. Optionally open detached.
  3. Configure cd on quit.
  4. Sync subshell $PWD to nnn.
  5. Install plugins.
  6. Use -x to sync selection to clipboard, show notis on cp, mv, rm and set xterm title.
  7. For a CLI-only environment, set NNN_OPENER to nuke. Use option -c.
  8. Bid ls goodbye! alias ls='nnn -de' 😎
  9. Visit the Live previews and Troubleshooting Wiki pages.

Don't memorize! Arrows, /, q suffice. Tab creates and/or cycles contexts. ? lists shortcuts.
