# ===================================================================
# This file contains the default startup commands for ranger.
# To change them, it is recommended to create the file
# ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf and add your custom commands there.
#
# If you copy this whole file there, you may want to set the environment
# variable RANGER_LOAD_DEFAULT_RC to FALSE to avoid loading it twice.
#
# The purpose of this file is mainly to define keybindings and settings.
# For running more complex python code, please create a plugin in "plugins/" or
# a command in "commands.py".
#
# Each line is a command that will be run before the user interface
# is initialized. As a result, you can not use commands which rely
# on the UI such as :delete or :mark.

# Which viewmode should be used? Possible values are:
# miller: Use miller columns which show multiple levels of the hierarchy
# multipane: Midnight-commander like multipane view showing all tabs next
# to each other

# Valid values are "always", "never", "multiple" (default)
# With "multiple", ranger will ask only if you delete multiple files at once.

# It has been successfully tested with "xterm" and "urxvt" without tmux.
#
# * iterm2:
# Preview images in full color using iTerm2 image previews
# (http://iterm2.com/images.html). This requires using iTerm2 compiled
# with image preview support.
#
# * urxvt:
# Preview images in full color using urxvt image backgrounds. This
# requires using urxvt compiled with pixbuf support.
