Rnvimr is a NeoVim plugin that allows you to use Ranger in a floating window.
Compared with other Ranger just running Ranger as a file picker, this plugin uses hacking tech to do whatever you want to Ranger, such as running rpc inside Ranger to communicate with neovim.
Different than other Ranger vim-plugins, rnvimr gives you full control over Ranger. It uses RPC to communicate with Ranger.
Since rnvimr requires RPC, this plugin does not support vim for now
vimade was used to fade interactive windows.
- Replaces the built-in Netrw as a default file explorer
- Calibrated preview images for ueberzug
- Attach file automatically when toggling Ranger
- Runs RPC inside Ranger to communicate with NeoVim
- Automatically adjusts floating window after resizing NeoVim
- Fully customizable layouts for floating window
Install rnvimr with your favorite plugin manager! Example for Vim-plug:
Plug 'kevinhwang91/rnvimr', {'do': 'make sync'}If you want rnvimr to use the default (vanilla) Ranger configuration, please using
make installinstead ofmake sync.
Use :RnvimrToggle to create a Ranger process, and if one exists, :RnvimrToggle simply shows or hides the floating window.
Use :RnvimrResize to cycle the preset layouts.
:RnvimrSync will synchronize your personal Ranger configuration and plugins with rnvimr this time.
Note: if your Ranger config changes, you will have to run :RnvimrSync in order to use your updated Ranger configuration with rnvimr
Enter to open a file in Ranger. Rnvimr also supports CTRL-T/CTRL-X/CTRL-V key bindings that allow you to open up file in a new tab, a new horizontal split, or in a new vertical split.
Pressing q in Ranger simply hides the floating window. Ranger will attach the file of the current buffer in the next toggle event.
