  1. I'll take a shot at how to pronounce "vifm", based on the history of the "vi" editor. My answer is "v" "i" "f" "m" (four individual letters). Here's why: The "vi" editor predates using a monitor. The "vi" editor was used when line printers were the output device. "vi" stood for "visual". So "vi" was the "visual" editor. Some folks pronounced it as the "vie" editor (the way the word "vie" is pronounced). Then came "vim", which is "vi improved" (or, "visual improved" editor) So "vifm" stands for "visual file manager". The above is why I conclude that "vifm" is pronounced by saying each of the four letters. Or, perhaps, "vifm" could be pronounced the way the word "vie" is pronounced, along with an ending of "f" "m"? In other words: "vie" "f" "m" I cannot see any other pronunciation as representing what any of the letters mean. Cheers!
