FAQ
Generic
How to report bugs/feature requests?
There are several ways to do that, pick one that is the most convenient to you (e.g. you already have an account where it's required for posting):
Which code repository is the primary one?
master
branch and tags of both
https://github.com/ksteen/vifm.git
and
http://git.code.sf.net/p/vifm/code vifm-code
are updated at the same time for all repositories (although they might be out of sync for a short period of time occasionally), so one should get same results no matter which code repository is used. Different repositories might have different feature/bug-fix branches, but they are temporary ones and just to communicate new code for testing.

.

Design/Features
Is it possible to embed Vim or another terminal application into one of Vifm's panes?
No, unfortunately it's not possible. Allowing this would require embedding
terminal multiplexer into Vifm, which is kinda silly because it is a file
manager. The compromise is to run Vifm inside terminal multiplexer and
provide some integration between them (there is already some builtin support
for GNU Screen and
tmux in Vifm, e.g. :screen
,
:ls
).
