Ability to open a file on Enter, for starters!

But also I can use JK to navigate down/up instead of moving my hand of their resting positions to the cursor.

And NM you jump faster by 5 files.

And the ability to change shortcuts easily

And the ability to use double tap C to copy file name, and tap C then tap F to copy full file path.

And turn column view into a flat list of all files at or below the current dir for easier search

And instant search (with the help of Everything) limited to the current dir+children, shown in the same file manager list with the same navigation option

And the ability to tap Cmd-R multiple files to select rename file full name/name/extension

And the ability to autoreplace illegal filesystem file chars with my own alternative to preserve those Divide/Rule common document names

And the ability to automatically control how much space a column is wasting.

Etc., a million of other things that differentiate a real pro file manager from the toy of Finder
