What about something like Midnight Commander?
Of course ISPF/PDF have better features, but some of them are not applicable to Linux like systems.

BTW: In fact I miss something similar to Norton (or Midnight) Commander in ISPF. I mean zOS Unix file management. Yes, there are at least two of them (I can't check names now, but I believe one is under 3.17 option).

and for Linux for z?

Does anybody remember an ISPF product that ran under mainframe Linux from
the early 2000's?  And, does anybody remember Command Technology
Corporation's SPF/PC?  Just walking down memory lane.

We had on Solaris:
     https://www.wrkgrp.com/
     "uni-SPF is available on all major commercial UNIX platforms."
     https://www.wrkgrp.com/unispf/Release.html

z?  Perhaps no Linux is "commercial".

I found it pointless.  My CMS XEDIT macros just didn't work in
uni-Rexx under uni-Xedit.  Perhaps if I had restricted myself
to a FILENAME.FILETYPE.FM naming convention ...
It wouldn't have been worth it.

MacOS and Windows have customary native file managers and
many exist for Linux AMD-64; probably portable to z.
