Luke's ranger setup

Basic Ranger shortcuts

These are the basic key binds in ranger, even outside of my configs. Note that they are mostly vim-based.

  • h/j/k/l -- Move left/down/up/right (where left moves up in the directory structure, right moves into a folder)
  • Space -- select/highlight file
  • dd -- cut selected files
  • yy -- copy/yank selected files
  • pp -- paste/move cut/copied files
  • / -- search, when (n/N) next/previos result
  • zh or CTRL-h -- show hidden files
  • Renaming files:
    • cw -- rename file from scratch
    • A -- rename file adding to the end
    • aa -- rename file appending before the extension
    • I -- rename file adding at the beginning

Shortcuts

As I say in the main readme, there are shortcut commands generated for ranger based on what bookmarked directories and files you give it. For directory shortcuts, here are the "verbs":

  • g -- "go or cd"
  • t -- "new tab"
  • m -- "move file"
  • Y -- "yank or copy file"

These "verbs" take "nouns" or "arguments," like these:

  • d -- "~/Documents"
  • D -- "~/Downloads"
  • cf -- "~/.config"
  • And many others, including those you add to ~/.bmdirs.

Press any "verb" followed by any "argument" to perform a folder operation. "gd" will cd to ~/Documents, for example. "mD" will move the selected file(s) to ~/Downloads. "tcf" will create a new tab in ~/.config, etc. etc.

Many little additions!
