File Manager Vi version

Cutefish File Manager, simple to use, beautiful, and retain the classic PC interactive design.

On this branch, the Cutefish File Manager has an even easier way to browse your files thanks to the vi mode. Instead of the classical shortcuts, vim fans will be pleased to use some of the vim shortcuts to browse their files.
