The default behaviour is to merely print the +name of the exception in the statusbar/log and to try to keep running. +.TP +-c, --clean +Activate the clean mode: Ranger will not access or create any configuration +files nor will it leave any traces on your system. This is useful when +your configuration is broken, when you want to avoid clutter, etc. +.TP +-r \fIdir\fR, --confdir=\fIdir\fR +Define a different configuration directory. The default is $HOME/.ranger. +.TP +-m \fIn\fR, --mode=\fIn\fR +When a filename is supplied, make it run in mode \fIn\fR. Check the +documentation for more information on modes. +.TP +-f \fIflags\fR, --flags=\fIflags\fR +When a filename is supplied, make it run with the flags \fIflags\fR. Check the +documentation for more information on flags. +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH USAGE +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SS General Keybindings +Many keybindings take an additional numeric argument. Type \fI5j\fR to move +down 5 lines, \fI10<Space>\fR to mark 10 files or \fI3?\fR to read the +third chapter of the documentation. +.TP +h, j, k, l +Move left, down, up, right +.TP +^D or J, ^U or K +Move a half page down, up +.TP +H, L +Move back and forward in the history +.TP +gg +Move to the top +.TP +G +Move to the bottom +.TP +^R +Reload everything +.TP +^L +Redraw the screen +.TP +yy +Yank the selection. (mark the files as copied) +.TP +dd +Cut the selection +.TP +pp +Paste the copied/cut files. By default, this will not overwrite existing +files. To overwrite them, use \fBpo\fR. +.TP +m\fIX\fR +Create a bookmark with the name \fIX\fR +.TP +`\fIX\fR +Move to the bookmark with the name \fIX\fR +.TP +n, N +Find the next file, the previous file. You can define what to look for +by typing c\fIX\fR. If nothing is specified, pressing n will get you to +the newest file in the directory. +.TP +o\fIX\fR +Change the sort method (like in mutt) +.TP +z\fIX\fR +Change settings +.TP +f +Quickly navigate by entering a part of the filename +.TP +Space +Mark a file +.TP +v, V +Toggle the mark-status of all files, unmark all files +.TP +/ +Open the search console +.TP +: +Open the command console +.TP +? +Opens the help screen with more keybindings and documentation +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SS Keybindings for using Tabs +Tabs are used to work in different directories in the same Ranger instance. +.TP +g\fIN\fR +Open a tab. N has to be a number from 0 to 9. If the tab doesn't exist yet, +it will be created. +.TP +gn, ^N +Create a new tab. +.TP +gt, gT +Go to the next or previous tab. You can also use TAB and SHIFT+TAB. +.TP +gc, ^W +Close the current tab. The last tab cannot be closed. +.P +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SS Mouse Usage +.TP +Left Mouse Button +Click on something and you'll move there. +To run a file, "enter" it, like a directory, by clicking on the preview. +.TP +Right Mouse Button +Enter a directory +.TP +Scroll Wheel +Scroll +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SS Commands +.TP +:delete +Destroy all files in the selection with a roundhouse kick. Ranger will +ask for a confirmation if you attempt to delete multiple (marked) files or +non-empty directories. +.TP +:rename \fInewname\fR +Rename the current file. Also try the keybinding A for appending something +to a file name. +.TP +:quit +Quit ranger. The current directory will be bookmarked as ' so you can +re-enter it by typing `` or '' the next time you start ranger. +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH TIPS +.SS +Change the directory after exit +A script like this in your bashrc would make you change the directory +of your parent shell after exiting ranger: +.nf + +ranger() { + $(which ranger) $@ && + cd "$(grep \\^\\' ~/.ranger/bookmarks | cut -b3-)" +} +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH CONFIGURATION +The files in +.B ranger/defaults/ +can be copied into your configuration directory (by default, this is +$HOME/.ranger) and customized according to your wishes. +.B ranger/defaults/options.py +doesn't have to be copied completely though: Just define those settings +you want to change and they will override the default values. +Colorschemes can be placed in $HOME/.ranger/colorschemes. +.P +All configuration is done in Python. +Each configuration file should contain sufficient documentation. +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co +2009, 2010 +Roman Zimbelmann +.P +This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +There is NO warranty; +not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH SEE ALSO +The project page: +.RB < http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/ranger > +.P +The mailing list: +.RB < http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=ranger > +.\"----------------------------------------- +.SH BUGS +Since Chuck Norris, the Texas Ranger, watches over this project, there ought +to be no bugs.
