== Ranger v.1.0.1 Ranger is a filemanager that integrates well into the linux shell and gives you a quick way of doing operations that would otherwise require a lot of typing, without starting up a bloated environment. The program is written in Python since version 1.0.0 and uses ncurses for the user interface. == About * Author: hut * Email: hut@lavabit.com * Git repo: http://repo.or.cz/w/ranger.git * Version: 1.0.1 == Features * Multi-column display * Preview of the selected file/directory * Common file operations (create/chmod/copy/delete/...) * Quickly find files or text inside files * VIM-like controls * Open files in external programs * Mouse support * Change directory of shell after exit * Bookmarks == Dependencies * A Unix-like OS (ranger is not tested on others) * Python 2.6 or 3.1 * Python curses module == Getting Started At first, it's a good idea to create a symlink in your bin dir: sudo ln -s /path/to/ranger.py /usr/bin/ranger Now type in ranger to start it. You should see 4 columns. The third is the directory where you are at the moment. To the left, there are the the directories above the current working dir, and the column on the right is a preview of the selected file/directory. Now use the arrow keys to navigate, press enter to open a file. A list of commands with short descriptions can be viewed by pressing ? inside the program and following the instructions. The file code/keys.rb contains all keycombinations, so that's another place you may want to check out. More extensive documentation will be written when enough users ask me to :) == Opening files with Ranger If you use the same applications like me, you'll be able to open files by pressing the right arrow key. If not, you will have to specify them in ranger/defaults/apps.py. It's explained in the docstrings how exactly to do that. Once you've set up your applications, you can also use ranger to open files from the shell: ranger blabla.pdf == Guidelines for developers: Tabs for indentation, spaces for tables and such Use docstrings with pydoc in mind Use syntax compatible to both python 2.6 and 3.1. If your feature depends on 3.1, better display a message that indicates that when using 2.6 instead of letting the program crash.
