Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

You have an outdated commands.py. Unless you modified it, you can simply delete it: rm ~/.config/ranger/commands.py

Confirmed, it's work now.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I made a few changes on the Wiki page, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ranger, mostly about the new method for keybinding.  But with such massive changes, there must be other corrections to do.  Can other people also examine the page?  Thanks.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Is there a keybinding for going half way down a list of entries?  It used to be %.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

To go down a half-page, try <C-d>.

I made a few changes on the Wiki page, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ranger, mostly about the new method for keybinding.  But with such massive changes, there must be other corrections to do.  Can other people also examine the page?  Thanks.

I'm not making any changes myself on the basis of uncertainty, but:
'Ranger has excellent built-in documentation. Just use these 4 keystrokes: "1?", "2?", "3?", or "4?".'
...should be changed to:
'Ranger has excellent built-in documentation accessible through the "?" key.'
...or similar.

And the paragraph just under Customization should probably mention --copy-config, although that isn't a new concept to v1.5 by any means.

Hmm I didn't think anyone uses it so it's not in the defaults, but ranger still supports it:

map % move down=50 percentage=True absolute=True

I plead ignorance.  What is --copy-config?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

There's still a big notice at the top of the Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ranger that says

This article or section needs expansion.
Please help expand this article so the intended scope is covered in sufficient detail.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I see someone has changed:
'Ranger has excellent built-in documentation. Just use these 4 keystrokes: "1?", "2?", "3?", or "4?".'
to:
'Ranger's man page can be opened by typing "?". You can also press "1?" for a list of key bindings, "2?" for a list of commands and "3?" for a list of settings.'
...but this sorta' missed my point.

In my ranger installation, '1?', '2?', etc. no longer do anything different from '?' - all just open the man page. Thus the prompt to change.

It reflects how ranger works for about a week. You seem to have an older work-in-progress version.

I should add that after working quite a lot on ranger in the past 2-3 weeks, I'm finished for now to work on other things. You can expect ranger to stay like this for a while.

Is this a bug? (Actually I use the very latest git)

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi hut.

A minor issue here, easily reproducible with the flushinput option set to False.

It occurs only the first time I run ranger after my computer boots up (maybe some memory cache system is involved).
ranger crashes when I type 'a (or any other bookmark) on loading screen or before.

Hey, nothing to report. I just wanted to say that ranger is great--especially the latest version. Thanks for sharing!

Can't use backspace to show dot files anymore?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Dot files can be shown with 'zh'. You can edit this manually in the rc.conf.

map <backspace> toggle_option show_hidden

Thanks, hut. Works now, but includes some duplicates, that may be eliminated, AFAIS. Anyway, this is very small issue.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I'm unable to type numbers into the console with the latest version. They get displayed in the top right corner of the screen instead. Any idea what could be wrong?

You need the latest config files.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

hut, I notice that I can't use auto completion when using shell (console shell, when you press s). Is this removed by default or there is a way to enable it ?
