Ranger File Manager

What is Ranger?

Ranger is a minimalistic TUI file manager controlled with vim keybindings (making it extremely efficient).

If you’ve never tried a terminal file manager, I suggest you try it out. Here’s a quick overview of how to work with it:

• j and k - Move up and down
• l - Move into a directory or open file at point
• h - Move up a directory
• g g - Move to top
• G - Move to bottom
• SPC - Mark a file
• y y - Copy (yank) file(s)
• d d - Cut file(s)
• p p - Paste file(s)
• d T - Trash file(s)
• d D - Delete a file (no undo!)
• ! - Run a shell command in current directory
• @ - Run a shell command on file(s)
• Ctrl-r - Refresh view

Just like in vim, commands can be given by typing a colon : (semicolons ; also work in ranger!) and typing the command, i.e :rename newfilename.
