In their own words

TUIFIManager

TUIFIManager is a free, GPL-3.0 terminal file manager oriented toward Termux users, and it can also be imported as a component in a Uni-Curses project. Its listed keybindings cover copying, cutting, pasting, deleting, and renaming, as well as creating files and folders and toggling hidden files. Vim mode supports normal and vim shortcuts; the README also lists common mouse events and X11 drag-and-drop from terminals. The project supports Termux and includes several Termux-only keybindings. Installation instructions use pip, followed by running `tuifi` in a terminal. The README documents environment variables for settings such as vim mode, editor, configuration path, hidden files, and filename display lines. The project says it uses about 35 MB of RAM and requires Python 3.8 or newer. Synthetic XDND is experimental and requires requests, pynput, PySide6, and python-xlib. The README labels its documentation a work in progress and says changing default keys besides commands is not currently possible through configuration.
