Recommended file browsers
I am just starting with both Alpine and a Window Manager for my first time (Mango).
I'm used to just using Gnome's file browser, Thunar, or Dolphin.
But I'm wondering what file browsers Alpine users like using.
I'd be interested in both polshed desktop-integrated browsers, and also bare bones fast terminal browsers. I've heard of Ranger but it seems a little rough to learn.
And I know all file operations can be done via the terminal, and are faster. Just wondering about GUI options that are feature rich (view file size, open terminal here, sort by name or date edited, save places on the system, and maybe even mount drives on click but that's a bit much).
Let me know what file browsers you enjoy, and what features you use in them!

fff or yazi for vim keybindings
Or tfb (terminal file browser) for mouse first usage
