Fast, small, and powerful file manager

Rodent is a fast, small and powerful file manager for the GNU operating system but it also works in BSD. That’s one way to look at it. Another way is to call it a graphic shell that’s probably more accurate.

  • Rodent wastes no space on menus or function buttons display real estate is too valuable.
  • All functionality is available through popup menu or keyboard action.
  • Popup menu is context sensitive.
  • Full lpterminal is available from keyboard.
  • Functionality is extendible via plugin technology.
