From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

lf is a TUI file manager. In its Wiki, you'll find a snippet to search with fzf and map it to a key.
lf Wiki / Integrations / fzf
I second this. lf is basically ranger but you can integrate any shell commands or tools into it. It'll require a bit of setting up though as the defaults are bare bones.
Shell commands can easily be integrated into
ranger.Are you doing this via rifle? That was how I was doing it in ranger, but with lf you can make custom shell commands directly in the config and assign custom hotkeys to it.
In
rc.confputmap f shell -tf $SHELL ~/myscript.sh. When you pressfit will launchmyscript.shin a new terminal with the selection as an argument.man rangerand checkshellcommand for appropriate flags. For example, skip the-tif your script is in turn going to launch a GUI application.
