 This document explains the troublesome implementation of the "cd-after-exit"

     alias rn='source ranger ranger'
 
 
+== Keyboard interrupt handling
+
+Another thing: If Ctrl+C is pressed anywhere in the program, the execution
+of the sourced shell script is stopped and the feature stops working.
+
+To handle that, I use: trap "" INT
+This ignores all interrupt signals. However, since ranger needs to know
+about ^C presses, I use this approach:
+

 Unfortunately there is some redundancy: you have to type the path to ranger

 If you find a way to make this print out 'sourced.sh', let me know. :)
