Hi everyone, hope you all had a good time for the holidays.
I've been using the ranger file manager for quite some time and love it. However, as the title describes, ranger does not open a terminal in the current working directory when i press shift+s.
What puzzles me is that I have a laptop and desktop, both with Arch installed and this functionality seems to be working properly on my desktop, but not on my laptop. I don't remember if I made any changes to my config to fix this, but I'm sure the fix is something silly that I completely forgot about.

the shortcut is "S" not "shift+s" so if your caps lock is on it will be a "s" which brings up the ":shell" command.
only other thing i can think of is if you somehow changed the $SHELL environment variable, check with:
echo $SHELLif not then you must have altered the rc.conf, this is the default line:
map S shell $SHELLOffline
Hmm, nope. Nothing unusual there. For
echo $SHELL my output is
/bin/bash and my rc.conf has the line
map S shell $SHELL EDIT: Also, the terminal does open up like it's supposed to. However, it always opens up in the ~/ directory. Not the directory i'm currently in.

check your .bashrc then, maybe somthing in there to make bash open in the "~" directory ?

Oh my goodness! Haha, I knew it was something silly! I had cd ~/ in my .bashrc.
