I used to really like dCOM , Directory Commander, by Dave Frailey / DAC Microsystems.
It mostly used single letter commands modelessly on the keyboard, if I recall, like 'd' to delete files, I think, probably with a confirmation like 'y/n' after you hit 'd'. It was written in ASM. I'm not 100% sure, I just remember how amazingly fast and frictionless it felt after getting used to it.
it was dual-pane. it was probably influenced by other commander/shells, like the Norton Commander, but when I got good with this, it was so fast. It was like using vim purely in edit (not insert) mode the friction of switching modes for managing your files. And you could use the mouse.
