It provides a +minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. +The secondary task of ranger is to figure out which program you want to use to +open your files with. + +This manual mainly contains information on the usage of ranger. Refer to the +F<README> for install instructions and to F<doc/HACKING> for development +specific information. For configuration, see the files in F<ranger/defaults>. +They are usually installed to F</usr/lib/python*/site-packages/ranger/defaults> +and can be obtained with ranger's --copy-config option. + +Inside ranger, you can press I<1?> for a list of key bindings, I<2?> for a list +of commands and I<3?> for a list of settings. + + + + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 14 + +=item B<-d>, B<--debug> + +Activate the debug mode: Whenever an error occurs, ranger will exit and print a +full traceback. The default behavior is to merely print the name of the +exception in the statusbar/log and try to keep running. + +=item B<-c>, B<--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. + +=item B<--choosefile>=I<targetfile> + +Allows you to pick a file with ranger. This changes the behavior so that when +you open a file, ranger will exit and write the name of that file into +I<targetfile>. + +=item B<--choosedir>=I<targetfile> + +Allows you to pick a directory with ranger. When you exit ranger, it will +write the last visited directory into I<targetfile>. + +=item B<--copy-config>=I<file> + +Create copies of the default configuration files in your local configuration +directory. Existing ones will not be overwritten. Possible values: I<all>, +I<rc>, I<apps>, I<commands>, I<options>, I<scope>. + +=item B<--list-unused-keys> + +List common keys which are not bound to any action in the "browser" context. +This list is not complete, you can bind any key that is supported by curses: +use the key code returned by C<getch()>. + +=item B<--fail-unless-cd> + +Return the exit code 1 if ranger is used to run a file instead of used for file +browsing. (For example, "ranger --fail-unless-cd test.txt" returns 1.) + +=item B<-m> I<n>, B<--mode>=I<n> + +When a filename is supplied, run it in mode I<n>. This has no effect unless +the execution of this file type is explicitly handled in the configuration. + +=item B<-f> I<flags>, B<--flags>=I<flags> + +When a filename is supplied, run it with the given I<flags> to modify +behavior. The execution of this file type is explicitly handled in the +configuration. + +=item B<--version> + +Print the version and exit. + +=item B<-h>, B<--help> + +Print a list of options and exit. + +=back + + + + +=head1 CONCEPTS + +=head2 TAGS + +Tags are single characters which are displayed left of a filename. You can use +tags however you want. Press "t" to toggle tags and "T" to remove any tags of +the selection. The default tag is an Asterisk ("*"), but you can use any tag by +typing I<"<tagnameE<gt>>. + +=head2 PREVIEWS + +By default, only text files are previewed, but you can enable external preview +scripts by setting the option C<use_preview_script> and C<preview_files> to True. + +This default script is F<~/.config/ranger/scope.sh>. It contains more +documentation and calls to the programs I<lynx> and I<elinks> for html, +I<highlight> for text/code, I<img2txt> for images, I<atool> for archives, +I<pdftotext> for PDFs and I<mediainfo> for video and audio files. + +Install these programs (just the ones you need) and scope.sh will automatically +use them. + +=head2 SELECTION + +The I<selection> is defined as "All marked files IF THERE ARE ANY, otherwise +the current file." Be aware of this when using the :delete command, which +deletes all files in the selection. + +You can mark files by pressing <Space>, v, etc. A yellow B<Mrk> symbol at the +bottom right indicates that there are marked files in this directory. + +=head2 MACROS + +Macros can be used in commands to abbreviate things. + + %f the highlighted file + %d the path of the current directory + %s the selected files in the current directory. + %t all tagged files in the current directory + %c the full paths of the currently copied/cut files + +The macros %f, %d and %s also have upper case variants, %F, %D and %S, +which refer to the next tab. To refer to specific tabs, add a number in +between. (%7s = selection of the seventh tab.) + +%c is the only macro which ranges out of the current directory. So you may +"abuse" the copying function for other purposes, like diffing two files which +are in different directories: + + Yank the file A (type yy), move to the file B, then type + @diff %c %f + +Macros for file paths are generally shell-escaped so they can be used in the +:shell command. + +=head2 BOOKMARKS + +Type B<m<keyE<gt>> to bookmark the current directory. You can re-enter this +directory by typing B<`<keyE<gt>>. <key> can be any letter or digit. Unlike vim, +both lowercase and uppercase bookmarks are persistent. + +Each time you jump to a bookmark, the special bookmark at key ` will be set +to the last directory. So typing "``" gets you back to where you were before. + +Bookmarks are selectable when tabbing in the :cd command. + +Note: The bookmarks ' (Apostrophe) and ` (Backtick) are the same. + +=head2 FLAGS + +Flags give you a way to modify the behavior of the spawned process. They are +used in the commands :open_with (key "r") and :shell (key "!"). + + s Silent mode. Output will be discarded. + d Detach the process. (Run in background) + p Redirect output to the pager + w Wait for an Enter-press when the process is done + c Run the current file only, instead of the selection + +By default, all the flags are off unless specified otherwise in the F<apps.py> +configuration file. You can specify as many flags as you want. An uppercase +flag negates the effect: "ddcccDs" is equivalent to "cs". + +Examples: C<:open_with p> will pipe the output of that process into +the pager. C<:shell -w df> will run "df" and wait for you to press Enter before +switching back to ranger. + +=head2 MODES + +By specifying a mode (a positive integer), you can tell ranger what to do with +a file when running it. You can specify which mode to use by typing <mode>l or +<mode><Enter> or :open_with <mode>. The default mode is 0. + +Examples: C<l> (mode zero) to list the contents of an archive, C<1l> (mode one) +to extract an archive. See the F<apps.py> configuration file for all programs +and modes. + + + + +=head1 KEY BINDINGS + +Key bindings are defined in the file F<ranger/defaults/rc.conf>. Check this +file for a list of all key bindings. You can copy it to your local +configuration directory with the --copy-config=rc option. + +Many key bindings take an additional numeric argument. Type I<5j> to move +down 5 lines, I<2l> to open a file in mode 2, I<10<SpaceE<gt>> to mark 10 files. + +This list contains the most useful bindings: + +=head2 MAIN BINDINGS + +=over 14 + +=item h, j, k, l + +Move left, down, up or right + +=item ^D or J, ^U or K + +Move a half page down, up + +=item H, L + +Move back and forward in the history + +=item gg + +Move to the top + +=item G + +Move to the bottom + +=item ^R + +Reload everything + +=item ^L + +Redraw the screen + +=item S + +Open a shell in the current directory + +=item ? + +Opens this man page + +=item yy + +Yank the selection to the "copy" buffer and mark them as to be copied + +=item dd + +Cut the selection to the "copy" buffer and mark them as to be moved + +=item pp + +Paste the files from the "copy" buffer here (by moving or copying, depending on +how they are marked.) By default, this will not overwrite existing files. To +overwrite them, use I<po>. + +=item mI<X> + +Create a bookmark with the name I<X> + +=item `I<X> + +Move to the bookmark with the name I<X> + +=item n, N + +Find the next file. By default, this gets you to the newest file in the +directory, but if you search something using the keys /, cm, ct, ..., it will +get you to the next found entry. + +=item N + +Find the previous file. + +=item oI<X> + +Change the sort method (like in mutt) + +=item zI<X> + +Change settings. See the settings section for a list of settings and their +hotkey. + +=item f + +Quickly navigate by entering a part of the filename. + +=item Space + +Mark a file. + +=item v + +Toggle the mark-status of all files, unmark all files. + +=item V, uv + +Unmark all files + +=item / + +Search for files in the current directory. + +=item : + +Open the console. + + +=item Alt-I<N> + +Open a tab. N has to be a number from 0 to 9. If the tab doesn't exist yet, it +will be created. + +=item gn, ^N + +Create a new tab. + +=item gt, gT + +Go to the next or previous tab. You can also use TAB and SHIFT+TAB instead. + +=item gc, ^W + +Close the current tab. The last tab cannot be closed this way. + +=back + +=head2 MIDNIGHT COMMANDER-LIKE BINDINGS + +=over 14 + +=item <F1> + +Display Help. + +=item <F3> + +Display the file. + +=item <F4> + +Edit the file. + +=item <F5> + +Copy the file. + +=item <F6> + +Cut the file. + +=item <F7> + +Open the console with ":mkdir ". + +=item <F8> + +Prompt for deletion of the selected files. + +=item <F10> + +Exit ranger. + +=back + +=head2 READLINE-LIKE BINDINGS IN THE CONSOLE + +=over 14 + +=item ^B, ^F + +Move left and right (B for back, F for forward) + +=item ^P, ^N + +Move up and down (P for previous, N for Next) + +=item ^A, ^E + +Move to the start or to the end + +=item ^D + +Delete the current character. + +=item ^H + +Backspace. + +=back + + +=head1 MOUSE BUTTONS + +=over + +=item 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. + +=item Right Mouse Button + +Enter a directory or run a file. + +=item Scroll Wheel + +Scrolls up or down. You can point at the column of the parent directory to +switch directories. + +=back + + + + +=head1 SETTINGS + +This section lists all built-in settings of ranger. The valid types for the +value are in [brackets]. The hotkey to toggle the setting is in <brokets>, if +a hotkey exists. + +Settings can be changed in the file F<~/.config/ranger/options.py> or on the +fly with the command B<:set option value>. Examples: + :set column_ratios (1,2,3) + :set show_hidden=True + +=over + +=item autosave_bookmarks [bool] + +Save bookmarks (used with mX and `X) instantly? This helps to synchronize +bookmarks between multiple ranger instances but leads to *slight* performance +loss. When false, bookmarks are saved when ranger is exited. + +=item collapse_preview [bool] <zc> + +When no preview is visible, should the last column be squeezed to make use of +the whitespace? + +=item colorscheme_overlay [function, None] + +An overlay function for colorschemes. See the default options.py for an +explanation and an example. + +=item colorscheme [string] + +Which colorscheme to use? These colorschemes are available by default: +B<default>, B<default88>, B<texas>, B<jungle>, B<snow>. Snow is monochrome, +texas and default88 use 88 colors. + +=item column_ratios [tuple, list] + +How many columns are there, and what are their relative widths? For example, a +value of (1, 1, 1) would mean 3 even sized columns. (1, 1, 1, 1, 4) means 5 columns +with the preview column being as large as the other columns combined. + +=item dirname_in_tabs [bool] + +Display the directory name in tabs? + +=item display_size_in_main_column [bool] + +Display the file size in the main column? + +=item display_size_in_status_bar [bool] + +Display the file size in the status bar? + +=item display_tags_in_all_columns [bool] + +Display tags in all columns? + +=item draw_bookmark_borders [bool] + +Draw borders around the bookmark window? + +=item draw_borders [bool] + +Draw borders around columns? + +=item flushinput [bool] <zi> + +Flush the input after each key hit? One advantage is that when scrolling down +with "j", ranger stops scrolling instantly when you release the key. One +disadvantage is that when you type commands blindly, some keys might get lost. + +=item hidden_filter [regexp] + +A regular expression pattern for files which should be hidden. + +=item max_console_history_size [integer, None] + +How many console commands should be kept in history? + +=item max_history_size [integer, None] + +How many directory changes should be kept in history? + +=item mouse_enabled [bool] <zm> + +Enable mouse input? + +=item padding_right [bool] + +When collapse_preview is on and there is no preview, should there remain a +little padding on the right? This allows you to click into that space to run +the file. + +=item preview_directories [bool] <zP> + +Preview directories in the preview column? + +=item preview_files [bool] <zp> + +Preview files in the preview column? + +=item preview_script [string, None] + +Which script should handle generating previews? If the file doesn't exist, or +use_preview_script is off, ranger will handle previews itself by just printing +the content. + +=item save_console_history [bool] + +Should the console history be saved on exit? If disabled, the console history +is reset when you restart ranger. + +=item scroll_offset [integer] + +Try to keep this much space between the top/bottom border when scrolling. + +=item shorten_title [integer, bool] + +Trim the title of the window if it gets long? The number defines how many +directories are displayed at once, False turns off this feature. + +=item show_cursor [bool] + +Always show the terminal cursor? + +=item show_hidden_bookmarks [bool] + +Show dotfiles in the bookmark preview window? (Type ') + +=item show_hidden [bool] <zh>, <^H> + +Show hidden files? + +=item sort_case_insensitive [bool] <zc> + +Sort case-insensitively? If true, "a" will be listed before "B" even though +its ASCII value is higher. + +=item sort_directories_first [bool] <zd> + +Sort directories first? + +=item sort_reverse [bool] <or> + +Sort reversed? + +=item sort [string] <oa>, <ob>, <oc>, <om>, <on>, <ot>, <os> + +Which sorting mechanism should be used? Choose one of B<atime>, B<basename>, +B<ctime>, B<mtime>, B<natural>, B<type>, B<size> + +Note: You can reverse the order by using an uppercase O in the key combination. + +=item tilde_in_titlebar [bool] + +Abbreviate $HOME with ~ in the title bar (first line) of ranger? + +=item unicode_ellipsis [bool] + +Use a unicode "..." character instead of "~" to mark cut-off filenames? + +=item update_title [bool] + +Set a window title? + +=item use_preview_script [bool] <zv> + +Use the preview script defined in the setting I<preview_script>? + +=item xterm_alt_key [bool] + +Enable this if key combinations with the Alt Key don't work for you. +(Especially on xterm) + +=back + + +=head1 COMMANDS + +You can enter the commands in the console which is opened by pressing ":". + +There are additional commands which are directly translated to python +functions, one for every method in the ranger.core.actions.Actions class. +They are not documented here, since they are mostly for key bindings, not to be +typed in by a user. Read the source if you are interested in them. + +=over 2 + +=item bulkrename + +This command opens a list of selected files in an external editor. After you +edit and save the file, it will generate a shell script which does bulk +renaming according to the changes you did in the file. + +This shell script is opened in an editor for you to review. After you close +it, it will be executed. + +=item cd [I<directory>] + +The cd command changes the directory. The command C<:cd -> is equivalent to +typing ``. + +=item chain I<command1>[; I<command2>[; I<command3>...]] + +Combines multiple commands into one, separated by columns. + +=item chmod I<octal_number> + +Sets the permissions of the selection to the octal number. + +The octal number is between 000 and 777. The digits specify the permissions for +the user, the group and others. A 1 permits execution, a 2 permits writing, a +4 permits reading. Add those numbers to combine them. So a 7 permits +everything. + +Key bindings in the form of [-+]<who><what> and =<octal> also exist. For +example, B<+ar> allows reading for everyone, -ow forbids others to write and +=777 allows everything. + +See also: man 1 chmod + +=item cmap I<key> I<command> + +Binds keys for the console. Works like the C<map> command. + +=item console [-pI<N>] I<command> + +Opens the console with the command already typed in. The cursor is placed at +I<N>. + +=item copycmap I<key> I<newkey> [I<newkey2> ...] + +See C<copymap> + +=item copymap I<key> I<newkey> [I<newkey2> ...] + +Copies the keybinding I<key> to I<newkey> in the "browser" context. This is a +deep copy, so if you change the new binding (or parts of it) later, the old one +is not modified. + +To copy key bindings of the console, taskview, or pager use "copycmap", +"copytmap" or "copypmap". + +=item copypmap I<key> I<newkey> [I<newkey2> ...] + +See C<copymap> + +=item copytmap I<key> I<newkey> [I<newkey2> ...] + +See C<copymap> + +=item cunmap I<key> I<command> + +Removes key mappings of the console. Works like the C<unmap> command. + +=item delete [I<confirmation>] + +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. + +When asking for confirmation, this command will only proceed if the last given +word starts with a `y'. + +=item edit [I<filename>] + +Edit the current file or the file in the argument. + +=item eval [I<-q>] I<python_code> + +Evaluates the python code. `fm' is a reference to the FM instance. To display +text, use the function `p'. The result is displayed on the screen unless you +use the "-q" option. + +Examples: + :eval fm + :eval len(fm.env.directories) + :eval p("Hello World!") + +=item filter [I<string>] + +Displays only the files which contain the I<string> in their basename. + +=item find I<pattern> + +Search files in the current directory that match the given (case-insensitive) +regular expression pattern as you type. Once there is an unambiguous result, +it will be run immediately. (Or entered, if it's a directory.) + +=item grep I<pattern> + +Looks for a string in all marked files or directories. + +=item load_copy_buffer + +Load the copy buffer from F<~/.config/ranger/copy_buffer>. This can be used to +pass the list of copied files to another ranger instance. + +=item map I<key> I<command> + +Assign the key combination to the given command. Whenever you type the +key/keys, the command will be executed. Additionally, if you use a quantifier +when typing the key, like 5j, it will be passed to the command as the attribute +"self.quantifier". + +The keys you bind with this command are accessible in the file browser only, +not in the console, task view or pager. To bind keys there, use the commands +"cmap", "tmap" or "pmap". + +=item mark I<pattern> + +Mark all files matching the regular expression pattern. + +=item mkdir I<dirname> + +Creates a directory with the name I<dirname>. + +=item open_with [I<application>] [I<flags>] [I<mode>] + +Open the selected files with the given application, unless it is omitted, in +which case the default application is used. I<flags> are characters out of +"sdpcwSDPCW" and I<mode> is any positive integer. Their meanings are discussed +in their own sections. + +=item pmap I<key> I<command> + +Binds keys for the pager. Works like the C<map> command. + +=item punmap I<key> I<command> + +Removes key mappings of the pager. Works like the C<unmap> command. + +=item quit + +Like quit!, but closes only this tab if multiple tabs are open. + +=item 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. + +=item rename I<newname> + +Rename the current file. If a file with that name already exists, the renaming +will fail. Also try the key binding A for appending something to a file name. + +=item save_copy_buffer + +Save the copy buffer from I<~/.config/ranger/copy_buffer>. This can be used to +pass the list of copied files to another ranger instance. + +=item search I<pattern> + +Search files in the current directory that match the given (case insensitive) +regular expression pattern. + +=item search_inc I<pattern> + +Search files in the current directory that match the given (case insensitive) +regular expression pattern. This command gets you to matching files as you +type. + +=item set I<option>=I<value> + +Assigns a new value to an option. Valid options are listed in the settings +section. Use tab completion to get the current value of an option, though this +doesn't work for functions and regular expressions. Valid values are: + + None None + bool True or False + integer 0 or 1 or -1 or 2 etc. + list [1, 2, 3] + tuple 1, 2, 3 or (1, 2, 3) + function lambda <arguments>: <expression> + regexp regexp('<pattern>') + string Anything + +=item shell [-I<flags>] I<command> + +Run a shell command. I<flags> are discussed in their own section. + +=item terminal + +Spawns the I<x-terminal-emulator> starting in the current directory. + +=item touch I<filename> + +Creates an empty file with the name I<filename>, unless it already exists. + +=item tmap I<key> I<command> + +Binds keys for the taskview. Works like the C<map> command. + +=item tunmap I<key> I<command> + +Removes key mappings of the taskview. Works like the C<unmap> command. + +=item unmap [I<keys> ...] + +Removes the given key mappings in the "browser" context. To unmap key bindings +in the console, taskview, or pager use "cunmap", "tunmap" or "punmap". + +=item unmark I<pattern> + +Unmark all files matching a regular expression pattern. + +=back + + + + +=head1 FILES + +ranger reads several configuration files which are located in +F<$HOME/.config/ranger> or F<$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ranger> if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is +defined. The configuration is done mostly in python. When removing a +configuration file, remove its compiled version too. (Python automatically +compiles modules. Since python3 they are saved in the __pycache__ directory, +earlier versions store them with the .pyc extension in the same directory.) + +Use the --copy-config option to obtain the default configuration files. They +include further documentation and it's too much to put here. + +You don't need to copy the whole file though, most configuration files are +overlaid on top of the defaults (F<options.py>, F<command.py>, F<rc.conf>) or +can be sub-classed (F<apps.py>, F<colorschemes>). + +When starting ranger with the B<--clean> option, it will not access or create +any of these files. + +=head2 CONFIGURATION + +=over 10 + +=item apps.py + +Controls which applications are used to open files. + +=item commands.py + +Defines commands which can be used by typing ":". + +=item rc.conf + +Contains a list of commands which are executed on startup.

You can later run :load_copy_buffer to copy the +same files again, pass them to another ranger instance or process them in a +script. + +=item history + +Contains a list of commands that have been previously typed in. + +=item tagged + +Contains a list of tagged files. The syntax is /^(.:)?(.*)$/ where the first +letter is the optional name of the tag and the rest after the optional colon is +the path to the file.
