 To customize ranger, copy the files from ranger/defaults/ to ~/.config/ranger/
 and modify them according to your wishes.
 
+The author of ranger uses this function (in ~/.bashrc) to start ranger:
+function ranger-cd {
+  before="$(pwd)"
+  python2.6 /the/path/to/ranger/ranger.py --fail-unless-cd "$@" || return 0
+  after="$(grep \^\' ~/.config/ranger/bookmarks | cut -b3-)"
+  if [[ "$before" != "$after" ]]; then
+    cd "$after"
+  fi
+}
+bind '"\C-o":"ranger-cd\C-m"'
+
+This changes the directory after you close ranger and adds the shortcut
+<CTRL-O> for starting ranger.
