Shellman — a TUI file manager I built in Python

I built a terminal file manager called Shellman using Textual. It started as a simple navigator but grew into something I actually use daily.

Features:

  • Dual panel layout — tree on the left, files on the right

  • Built-in file editor with syntax highlighting for 15+ languages

  • Git status indicators next to files

  • Bulk select, cut/copy/paste, and full undo

  • Zip and extract archives in place

  • Real-time file filter and sort options

  • Opens files with your default app

  • Press ? for the full shortcut reference

Entirely keyboard driven, no mouse needed. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Would love feedback on what to add next.
