IRA is a cross-platform terminal file manager for previewing images, video, and text, editing text inline, and moving files in a dual-pane workspace.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.

For: Keyboard-focused terminal file manager users
Worth noticing: The V key cycles four view modes, each pane remembers its own mode, and text previews are capped at 256 KB.

Field notes

Each pane remembers its selected view, and fuzzy filtering remains available in thumbnail-grid mode. Inline editing uses Tab to enter the editor and Ctrl+S to save; leaving with Esc or Tab discards unsaved changes, which the page marks with a star. Image display depends on terminal support, with fallback rendering described for other setups.
