vifm

vifm is a file manager similar to ranger, but supports vim-like keybindings.

vicd

The vifm wiki shows how to add custom command vicd to change directory easily. You may add this to the .zshrc file.

vicd()
{
    local dst="$(command vifm --choose-dir - "$@")"
    if [ -z "$dst" ]; then
        echo 'Directory picking cancelled/failed'
        return 1
    fi
    cd "$dst"
}

Usage: in terminal shell type vicd to open vifm. Select a directory, press enter. :q exits vifm and changes directory. :cq exits vifm without changing directory.

how to install

On macOS you can install via Homebrew:
