I recently had to use Windows a bit and went back to Total Commander after years on a mac.

It felt amazing. "At last, my arm is complete again" level. I can't believe you could miss a file manager so much. It's one of the greatest tools you can't explain the usage of, you bust have to use it for a week.

Then I discovered that since I last checked a passable Mac clone has appeared. Nimble Commander (https://magnumbytes.com/) is almost 1:1 in terms of UX and does support the Mac filesystem well. Just be sure to press ^3 Tab ^3 the first time you open it.

That key combo you're referring to when opening; what's that for?
Changing both panes to "detailed list view", which is the only view you'd ever want but strangely not the default.
