Re: [Ranger-users] Thorough tutorial

[Jan Knížek]

Well, I have learnt (and still doing) it from a cheatsheet: 
http://ranger.nongnu.org/cheatsheet.png

I usually look at the bindings in the cheatsheet and if I find one, that 
I am not sure what it is for, I just try to press it in Ranger. Also, 
press ? in ranger and then c for commands. That's probably all you need. 
Unfortunately, not all commands are documented - this should be done.

OK, wiki may be improved.

* You're right. Tagging files needs some improvements (AFAIK, you can't 
use tagged files directly in ranger commands, but list of files is 
available in global variable %t, so you can do something like: `:shell 
cp %t directory` or even `:delete %t`. I don't know how to add tagged 
files to the buffer).

* Is there anything more you're missing? I can't think of anything.

Regards,

knezi
