Braille friendly console file manager

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Tim here.  While I'm not a Braille user, I'll throw a couple more
suggestions on the table as, well, they're free, so you're welcome to
try them and see if any of them work for you.  In addition to
Midnight Commander and "vifm", there's "ranger" (which I've seen
mentioned elsewhere on this thread and may or may not be very
accessible) as well as "nnn" (https://github.com/jarun/nnn) which
looks like it might be more Braille-friendly.

If you're an emacs user, there's dired mode.  Additionally, there's
edbrowse which is a bit opaque but should certainly be
Braille-friendly.

That said, for most file management, I just use the shell (cd, cp,
mv, rename, etc).  The only time I end up wanting a "real" file
manager is when I have a large collection of files where I can't
easily choose based on a glob.  For those occasions, I tend to use
lynx in dired mode.
