Great video, I use ranger for a while and thanks to you I discover new things , thank you

[@zachs7403]

Love the pacing. Quick, terse with rl Examples

[@user-hg8re3ql2k]

Because of you i started understanding that programming is easy with a good mentor i hope you get 10 million subscribers , how can i overwrite the disk with my own payload please?

[@yt-sweety]

Are you use Pop Os as daily driver or just for videos? I'm obsessed with dwm and recommend you to try any of window managers if you like use mainly keyboard shortcuts.

[@sergiuoanes4635]

he would rather go Qtile, I think

[@trinity.channel]

How do I cd into the current directory in Ranger automatically when I quit? Or is there any similar feature? Edit: Found it. Shift+s. This shortcut opens a terminal in the current Ranger directory. Use the "exit" command to close the terminal and go back to Ranger.

Hi. Have you tried the Midnight Commander?

[@hnahler]

I was thinking the same. But then the difference is that Midnight Commander borrows it's keybinds from from the old Norton Commander while Ranger borrows them from Vim. - I think, the idea here is to use a workflow that doesn't require learning too many new keybinds. I used Midnight Commander but don't really know why I went off it. I manage most things just fine in the terminal.

Ranger and MC always top knotch

[@hnahler]

I guess , I can google it myself but assume there is a way to also display the creation date/time of a file, like an 'ls -l' in the terminal.

[@kiiiko8575]

the last modified date of the selected file is on the bottom left in ranger

[@dmitriykroning7513]

Hi, "M" opens linemode, where u can choose that

[@AGASTRONICS]

Yeah I have been search 🔎

[@Haroon_abbasi]

Sick!

Ranger for slowpoke. There is LF.

[@hannahprobably5765]

LF ?

[@johndoe1]

@@hannahprobably5765 lf file manager (github/gokcehan/lf). Same functionality, but written in Go rather than Python, so much faster.

[@kjlw99]

I had a ranger phase for a little while, until I found vifm.

[@barspinoza]

Mind elaborating why vifm is better?

[@akshettrj]

Use LF bruh

[@cgnico3978]

couldn't be any slower

[@GordioUA]

I hoped that it can be a good alternative to vifm, but alas, it was not.
