It seems like I'm on the other side of table here...I've been trying to
look for a good file manager and I found TuxCmd to be the best. It's
basically midnight commander with tabs. I guess I could be missing
something here...

So if you need to work on let's say around 5-6 source code files along
with constant references to external files such as pdf's, etc. you have
multiple tabs in a terminal or multiple shells open and use that to
navigate the file system? Also if you had to copy between files between
multiple directories...isn't there a lot of "typing" going on?
