key:
Press a key to view the topic:
? quick summary
m basic movement and control
g quickly switching directories
f filtering and searching
l running files in different ways
c creating, deleting, moving, copying
o more commands that don't fit elsewhere
To interrupt current operations: <Ctrl-C>
To quit: Q or ZZ or <Ctrl-D> or <Ctrl-C><Ctrl-C> (quickly twice in a row)
And always take care of which keys you press. This tool not only
makes it easy to access files but also to destroy them.
key:?
Movement: h,j,k,l or arrow-keys
Run file or enter dir: l or RIGHT or ENTER
Move 1 directory back: h or LEFT or BACKSPACE
R: Refresh the view <Ctrl-R>: Reload everything
Space: Mark a file. v: Reverse markings. V: Clear markings
Bookmark directories with mX and re-enter them with 'X
To search, type / or f followed by the text
If you use f, the first non-ambiguous match will be entered/run
mkdir<name> or touch<name> to create dirs or files
move file to ~/.trash: dd
delete file forever: dfd
delete whole dir forever: delete
copy file: cp or yy
cut file: cut
paste file: p
move/rename: mv<name> or cw<name>
key:m
R refresh the view
<Ctrl-R> completely reloads the file memory
k or UP move 1 item up
j or DOWN move 1 item down
K move half the screen up
J move half the screen down
PAGE UP move the whole screen up
PAGE DOWN move the whole screen down
HOME or gg move to the top
END or G move to the bottom
h or LEFT or BACKSPACE move one directory back
l or RIGHT or ENTER enter the directory or run the file.
H like h, but if if pwd is on a symlink,
you get to the original location
key:g
m<key> bookmark this directory
um<key> un-marks the specified bookmark
' shows an overview of all bookmarks
'<key> re-enter bookmarked directory.
TAB equivalent to ''
the quote ', backquote ` and the command "go" do the same
g0 go to /
gu go to /usr/
gm go to /media/
gn go to /mnt/
ge go to /etc/
gs go to /srv/
gh go to ~/
gt go to ~/.trash/
all of this commands, and also quitting the program, will save
the old directory at ` so you can re-enter it by typing `` or '' or TAB
key:f
/<expr> Search for a "regular expression"
f<expr> Like / but enters/runs the first non-ambiguous match
F<expr> Shows only files which match the regular expression.
n or N goes to the next or previous match.
if you search for nothing, n goes to the newest file.
What is a regular expression:
A very flexible way of defining patterns in text. By writing
Special characters, you can specify what to search:
. matches any character
\\d matches any digit
\\w matches any letter (ascii)
\\s matches any whitespace
| either the preceding or next expression may match
{m,n} at least m and at most n repetitions of the preceding
* zero or more repetitions of the preceding
+ one or more repetitions of the preceding
? at most one repetition of the preceding
^ or $ the beginning or the end of the string
More at: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/UsersGuide/rg/regexp.html
If you're just searching or a simple string, it's usually enough to write
it down. To escape the special characters, precede them with a \\
key:l
Space: Mark a file. v: Reverse markings V: Clear markings
l or RIGHT Enter the directory or run the file in mode 0, flag "a"
L Run in a different way: mode 1, no flags
r<n><f>r Run with mode <n> and flags <f>. example: r3adr
Default mode: 0, default flags: no flags at all
What are flags:
Letters that specify details on how ranger should run the program.
Capital letters reverse the function. use as many flags as you want.
a Run the selection rather than just the highlighted file
t Run in a detached terminal (implies d)
d or e Run as a detached process inside the current terminal
w Wait for a <enter> after execution of the programm
What are modes:
A number from 0 to infinity that specifies what shell command should
be executed, since most file types have different ways to be run.
You can set up the commands for each type in the file ranger/data/apps.rb
key:c
the word "selection" means
if you marked something: all marked items and NOT the highlighted item
otherwise: the selected item.
mkdir<name> creates directory
touch<name> creates file
yy or cp Memorize selection
cut like cp, but move instead of copy if "p" is pressed
p Copy memorized files here.
o<key> Copy selection to the bookmarked dir (see ?g)
use deleteing commands with caution!
dd: Move selection to ~/.trash and memorize it's new path
(so it can be pasted with p)
dfd: Deletes the selection or empty directory
delete: Remove whole selection with all contents
mv<name>: move/rename file to <name>
cw<name>: same as mv
A: write "cw <name of current file>" to the key buffer
key:o
t Toggle Option
S Change Sorting
E Edit file
s Enter Shell
!<command> Executes command
!!<command> Executes command and waits for enter-press afterwards
term Runs a detached terminal in the current directory
block Blocks the program, until you write: stop
- or = decreases or increases audio volume (alsa)
