[edit] User interface
The user interface is based on the orthodox file manager (OFM) principle, also known as Commander-like file managers, are the family of file managers based on the old Norton Commander interface. The orthodox file manager has two windows called panels where one is active and the other inactive. The idea is to manipulate files from active to inactive panel or within active panel. Only the keyboard is required to do this, which makes the process much faster. Using the mouse is still an option.
[edit] Platforms
GNOME Commander is primarily developed for the Linux platform, but it is available for some other platforms such as BSD or Cygwin.
