My absolute favorite is nnn (mine's aliased from "n3", is that insane) -> "r" which gives you a vim console for renaming all the contents of a directory. Beats perl-rename and everything else cause it's actually interactive. Although it is possible to write files over each other with it, so gotta be careful.
In the default view you literally just use the arrow keys to navigate, basically the same as the old Windows tree explorer or whatever else like that. 1/2/3/4 flip between tabs. If you hit "right" on a file I think it hits xdg-open or something to open it in the default program. "e" opens text in your ... default
EDITOR? Guessing. "?" for help and a lot of other commands.I don't really use it that much honestly. Let me see...Ctrl-R is rename for a single file. Copy/move I think are selection operations, one way is to press space next to file names, navigate where you want and do Ctrl-P to copy or Ctrl-V to move (cut). Symlink, uh, just put the cursor on the file, "n", "s", type the name out and press enter.
You can also use the batch rename editor to move files it looks like. I hadn't tried that before, but it does let you put in an arbitrary path.
