I found some free time for myself and decided to go through my system. I just found out about ranger and now I can’t live without it. It’s so freaking amazing I wonder how come I never bothered to look for it before. :eyes:

I used ranger when I was just starting to work on hyprland and that’s why some configs for ranger are there, now I am okay with ls things :sweat_smile:
mostly because I wasn’t able to make use of libsixel to show image previews in ranger :sweat_smile:

And other reason is I have file tree things in neovim , and that’s what is open mostly other than browser :grin:

Nope. I just did check it out. The only problem I had with it was changing tab focus caused rename to trigger with a little searching found out that unmapping I resolved this. Now the setup feels perfect. I don’t really mind the image preview but certainly will look into it in future.

w3m doesn’t work for some reason, tried it. I tried searching the net with errors but still couldn’t get it to work for now.

for that you will probably need kitty or KDE console , for alacritty IDK
and in foot sixels is the only option. AFAIK

so maybe you can try img2sixel like things (for that install libsixel)

You gotta check out Broot, it’s really slick.

Great features, blazing fast rusty goodness, and very configurable. My only strike against it is no sixel support for the image preview feature, but c’est la vie. I guess the guy wants a cleaner Rust implementation first. Request for sixel support for image previews, to support multiplexers · Issue #568 · Canop/broot · GitHub

Yazi is pretty awesome too–and Vim friendly! :wink:

Personally I like Broot better, although Yazi does have sixel support

I’ve gotten accustomed to using Broot for searching for things, because for certain things it is so much faster than any other method–especially if you can’t quite remember what you are looking for (which happens to me a lot :face_with_hand_over_mouth:).

“What was that file I was looking at earlier? Hmm, can’t remember
something-something libalpm
”

br / to start Broot at /, then just type in libalpm and it does a fuzzy search for you.

If you want to sneak a peek you can press Ctrl+ arrow right to open the preview pane, then it shows you what’s in the file as you browse the directory tree.

Once I find whatever I am looking for, Ctrl+E to open it in Micro (or whatever program you want) and carry on. I may have set that binding myself, but that’s just it–you can change or add pretty much any bindings you want.

Just the search feature alone is priceless, it’s so fast and useful. I did like certain things about Yazi, but Broot is essential!

Nice, but Just wanna know what is the element because of which you like broot instead of yazi more :slightly_smiling_face: ??

EDIT: just gave a shot I really fell in love with yazi :heart_eyes:

This is the thing I wanted + vim like keybindings so I won’t need a big learning curve

And it is also previewing PDFs!!!

Just that’s insane !!! :exploding_head:

i have a quick question that i feel doesn’t needs its own post and i know this chat has a silly factor of 5 but i’m not sure where else to ask it

i’ve read all of the rules/terms/etc of the forums and whatnot and, while explicit mention of this isn’t particularly necessary, it has led me to want to confirm anyway. are LGBTQ+ people and their rights respected here and by superiors? i’m not looking to (actively) discuss it if not explicitly relevant, it’s just important to me and i’d like to know for sure. i’m not trying to start a discussion about it here or get exceptionally off topic, just hoping for a quick answer

thanks and sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask

We are respectful to all humans here.
I don’t need to say anymore, so there’s no need for extra rights.

wasn’t looking for anything extra, just to fit equally within the already existing rules. that’s all i was asking for, thank you!

We try to be inclusive rather than exclusive. We try to be respectful to all, including LGBTQ+ persons.

At least, I have never seen any posts to indicate otherwise in 1,144 days (I had to look it up) that I’ve been a member of this forum. And I try to read every post.

Welcome to Garuda Linux. :heart:

P. S. no “superiors” here.
