-Ranger has the same, or similar movement keys as vim:
+1. Basic Movement With Ranger
 
-	k    move up
-	j    move down
-	h    move left (in browser: move one directory up)
-	l    move right (in browser: enter this directory, or start this file)
+1.1. Ranger has similar movement keys as vim:
 
-	K    move half the screen up
-	J    move half the screen down
-	H    in browser: move back in history
-	L    in browser: move forward in history
+	k       move up
+	j       move down
+	h       move left (in browser: move one directory up)
+	l       move right (in browser: enter this directory, or run this file)
 
-	gg   move to the top
-	G    move to the bottom
+	K       move half the screen up
+	J       move half the screen down
+	H       in browser: move back in history
+	L       in browser: move forward in history
+
+	gg      move to the top
+	G       move to the bottom
 
 By prefixing a number, you can give more precise commands, eg:
 
-	2J   move 2 pages down
-	5gg  move to the 5th line
-	3h   move 3 characters to the left, or move 3 directories up
+	2J      move 2 pages down
+	5gg     move to the 5th line
+	3h      move 3 characters to the left, or move 3 directories up
+
+Using arrow keys is equivalent of using h/j/k/l in most cases.
+An exception to this is the console, where you can move around with
+arrow keys and pressing letters will insert the letter into the console.
+----------------------------------------
+
+1.2. Special Keys
 
 Special keys like Home, Page Up,.. work as expected.
+The Enter key is equivalent to l except that files will be opened
+in "mode 1" instead of the default mode 0. (5?)
+
+These keys give you more movement control: (^X = Ctrl X)
+
+	K, ^D   move half the screen up
+	J, ^U   move half the screen down
+	^B      move up by one screen
+	^F      move down by one screen
+----------------------------------------
+
+1.3. Cycling
+
+You can't only move up and down through the list, but also cycle through
+the items in different logical orders.
+
+	/       open the "search console" and cycle through matches (3?)
+	TAB     cycle through tagged items
+	cc      cycle by ctime (last modification)
+	cm      cycle by mime type, connecting similar files
+	cs      cycle by size, large items first
+
+	n       move to the next item
+	N       move to the previous item
+
+	See also: sorting (4?)
+
+Example:
+
+	csnn    move to the third largest item
