Far Manager is a file management tool in the spirit of the venerable Norton Commander (kids, go ask your parents). It's a text-only app that lets you view files and directories; edit, copy, and rename files; and more. It supports a vast array of plugins that add specific functionality to this tool. They include such diverse functionality as syntax highlighting for source code, text auto-completion, search-and-replace through multiple files employing regular expressions, and many others. There's an active community of folks adding new plugins all the time, so the usefulness of this app increases constantly.
Far Manager is an open source Windows application.
