The project replicates the interface, behavior, and internal structure of Far Manager and far2l, but is rewritten in Go, utilizing the 'clean room' methodology. The code is distributed under the BSD license and developed by AI assistants. Manual reviews replace a large set of automated tests that run on multiple operating systems and architectures in CI. Pre-built binaries are available for Linux, Windows (including a separate build for Windows 7\/8\/8.1), ReactOS, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, and Android (Termux). Experimental support is provided for Illumos and Solaris, with porting underway for Redox, GNU Hurd, and Haiku.    <\/p>\n<p>Main Features:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> Delivery as a single statically compiled executable file with no external dependencies (a CGO-free build). Supported architectures include x86-64, x86, ARM64, ARMv7, RISC-V, LoongArch, MIPS, and POWER.\n<li class=\"l\"> Operation in a terminal or a separate graphical window. The terminal supports the kitty protocol and Win32 Input Mode, leading to different key combinations, such as Ctrl+Enter and Shift+Tab. For graphical mode, backends include X11, Wayland, Win32 GDI, Cocoa, Ebitengine, and gogpu with hardware acceleration.\n<li class=\"l\"> An integrated terminal beneath the panels, similar to far2l. In Windows, it operates both through ConPTY and without it, using the Windows Console API.\n<li class=\"l\"> An integrated editor with syntax highlighting (Colorer and Chroma) and a viewer with a hexadecimal dump preview mode. Large files open without being fully loaded into memory.\n<li class=\"l\"> Asynchronous VFS allowing interaction with archives (including nested ones), SFTP\/FTP, S3, WebDAV, Google Drive, Yandex Disk, the Windows registry, Android devices (via ADB), and iPhones (via AFC). Any VFS can be mounted via FUSE as a regular directory.\n<li class=\"l\"> The FISH+ protocol builds on the FISH idea from Midnight Commander. Search, indexing, and lengthy operations are performed on the server side, allowing direct file copying between servers. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/server\/dts-los-angeles\/\"   title=\"server\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">server<\/a>Plugins operate as separate processes and communicate with the core via MessagePack through stdin\/stdout, enabling them to be written in any language. Plugins for Lua (API in the spirit of Far3\/far2m) and WebAssembly are supported, with a directory for their distribution named PlugRing.\n<li class=\"l\"> Lua macros, a command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), key remapping, flexible file coloring, and portable mode.\n<li class=\"l\"> Embedded SQLite client and a DOS Navigator-style spreadsheet, image viewer, audio player, media file information, directory comparison, and synchronization, plus an AI panel.\n<li class=\"l\"> Embedded SQLite client and DOS Navigator-style spreadsheet, image viewer, audio player, media file information, directory comparison, and synchronization, along with an AI panel.\n<li class=\"l\"> The interface has been translated into 23 languages. Text input with BiDi and complex grapheme clusters is supported.\n<li class=\"l\"> Self-updating via the command 'f4 \u2014update', packages for Homebrew, Nix (flake and Home Manager module), and Termux. There is a lightweight lite-build available for routers and low-spec devices.  <\/ul>\n<p>Differences from other file managers:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> Far Manager works only in Windows. f4 carries its interface and familiar key combinations to Linux, macOS, BSD, and Android. Binary plugins for Far (DLL) are not supported, but a Lua API for plugins is modeled after Far3\/far2m.\n<li class=\"l\"> far2l is a port of Far 2 for Linux, macOS, and BSD, written in C++ under the GPLv2 license. f4 is not a port, but a new implementation in Go under the BSD license. In addition to Unix-like systems, f4 also runs on Windows and ReactOS, does not rely on wxWidgets or system libraries, and plugins can be written in any language.\n<li class=\"l\"> Midnight Commander is written in C (GPLv3) and designed for Unix-like systems, adhering to its operational model and key layout. f4 mimics the behavior of Far\/far2l, has a graphical mode, and works natively on Windows. The archive for the Linux x86-64 build is approximately 35 MB, while mc is only a few megabytes.\n<li class=\"l\"> M-Commander is a fork of mc written in C and Lua (GPLv3+). It features pluggable panels (Git, Docker, Kubernetes, MongoDB, S3, etc.), and instead of a subshell, it uses an embedded PTY terminal. M-Commander maintains the mc interface and is offered as packages for Linux and macOS. f4 is evolving in a similar direction (extensible panels, an integrated terminal) but with the Far interface, Windows, and BSD support, and is delivered as a single binary file.  <\/ul>\n<p>      <center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/911904897dce2f8b7081239bf4280f09.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>Source: <a content=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.opennet.ru\/opennews\/art.shtml?num=66366\">opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041e\u043f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d \u0431\u0435\u0442\u0430-\u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u0444\u0430\u0439\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043c\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0434\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0430 f4 0.3.0. \u041f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0438\u0437\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0444\u0435\u0439\u0441, \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0438 \u0432\u043d\u0443\u0442\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0435\u0435 \u0443\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e Far Manager \u0438 far2l, \u043d\u043e \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d \u0437\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u044f\u0437\u044b\u043a\u0435 Go, \u0438\u0441\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0437\u0443\u044f \u043c\u0435\u0442\u043e\u0434\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u044e &#171;\u0447\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0439 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043d\u0430\u0442\u044b&#187;. \u041a\u043e\u0434 \u0440\u0430\u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044f\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0434 \u043b\u0438\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u0435\u0439 BSD \u0438 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d AI-\u0430\u0441\u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430\u043c\u0438. \u0420\u0443\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0435 \u0440\u0435\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043d\u044f\u0435\u0442 \u0431\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0448\u043e\u0439 \u043d\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0440 \u0430\u0432\u0442\u043e\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0432, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u0432 CI \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043d\u044f\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u041e\u0421 \u0438 \u0430\u0440\u0445\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0430\u0445. \u0413\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043a\u0438 \u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0438\u0440\u0443\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043b\u044f [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[702],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.2 -
