I simply use "S" to open bash and ^D to go back to ranger.

^D does nothing for me...

That function is pretty good :)  I think im gonna use it for the :scout
command instead.

BTW. commit 8a51682 [1] kinda broke your command, but I pushed a fix
already.

Hilariously, I think you're using the semi-old (two days old) version that I later fixed here:[bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1231736#p1231736].

When you updated to support the old one, you broke the new one!

However, I prefer it this way and I've re-updated to use the older method:[https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1232208#p1232208] so please keep it as it is now :).

Also, please note that the [newest,] newest version fixes several big(-ish) bugs that the others I've shown here have.

Basically, if you use :travel or :narrow, only use this version:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1232208#p1232208.

My :scout command was just a prototype ;).  Thanks for your help.  I
don't have time to test your new version right now but I'll probably
include it in ranger :)  If you want to write a patch yourself, go
ahead.  Otherwise I'll do it myself later.

*feels honoured*

Unfortunately with the new versions I'm not really sure what a patch would entail. Adding the commands to commands.py is easy, but I'm using

directory.tmp_filter = "THE FILTER GOES HERE"

directory.tmp_filter_dir = "THE DIRECTORY WE'RE FILTERING GOES HERE"

which seems like a bad thing to have in production code.
