lsx (ls-Xtended) : A command line utility which lets you navigate through terminal like a pro.
You mentioned below that you weren't aware of nnn. You might check out lf while you're at it. There are a half dozen nice, active tools like this (vifm, cfiles) which - if nothing else - might give you some ideas. There are also all the commander-style tools like Midnight Commander and WCM Commander.

FSViewer on Arch?
Not an Arch user myself, but I "maintain" a private fork of FSViewer at https://github.com/roblillack/fsviewer for a few years now which fixes a few bugs. I just switched the repo's visibility to public, so you should be able to checkout, build, install, run like so:
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cfiles and fsviewer you can also consider the following projects:
nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
clifm - The shell-like, command line terminal file manager: simple, fast, extensible, and lightweight as hell.
lf - Terminal file manager
webMAN-MOD - Extended services for PS3 console (web server, ftp server, netiso, ntfs, ps3mapi, etc.)
chezmoi - Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.
mackup - Keep your application settings in sync (OS X/Linux)
wmaker - Private copy of official Window Maker repo; my patches are in branch "robsversion," upstream is "master"
