Added 'ranger as an option to the variable: ranger-enter-with-minus Changed the default value from: t to: 'deer. Bound the key to evil-motion-state-map instead of evil-normal-state-map so that - also works from the Spacemacs home buffer. |

Ranger layer
Description
This layer brings Ranger features to spacemacs from the ranger package.
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add ranger to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
To use ranger/deer by default set ranger-override-dired to ranger/deer like
shown in the example below (setting this via customize as explained by the
original ranger installation instructions will not work). To default with
preview enabled when entering ranger set ranger-show-preview to t. The following
example code shows how you can set both variables at once via the
dotspacemacs-configuration-layers of your dotfiles as follows:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(ranger :variables
ranger-override-dired 'ranger
ranger-show-preview t))Features:
- use ranger to display dired with ranger like preview and stacked parent windows.
Configuration
Most parameters can be toggled on and off and stay within the current emacs session. Any settings that are desired on startup should be set below.
Customizing
Toggle the use of - to enter deer or ranger with ranger-enter-with-minus.
The possible values are:
'deer(default)'ranger
(setq ranger-enter-with-minus 'deer)When disabling the mode you can choose to kill the buffers that were opened while browsing the directories.
(setq ranger-cleanup-on-disable t)Or you can choose to kill the buffer just after you move to another entry in the dired buffer.
(setq ranger-cleanup-eagerly t)
You can choose to show dotfiles at ranger startup, toggled by zh
(setq ranger-show-hidden t)Define custom function used to output header of primary ranger window. Must return a string that is placed in the header-line.
(setq ranger-header-func 'ranger-header-line)Define custom function used to output header of parent and preview windows. Must return a string that is placed in the header-line.
(setq ranger-parent-header-func 'ranger-parent-header-line)Parent options
You can set the number of folders to nest to the left, adjusted by z- and z+
(setq ranger-parent-depth 2)You can set the size of the parent windows as a fraction of the frame size
(setq ranger-width-parents 0.12)When increasing number of nested parent folders, set max width as fraction of frame size to prevent filling up entire frame with parents.
(setq ranger-max-parent-width 0.12)Preview options
You can choose to show previews literally, or through find-file, toggled by zi
(setq ranger-show-literal t)You can set the size of the preview windows as a fraction of the frame size
(setq ranger-width-preview 0.55)You probably don't want to open certain files like videos when using preview. To ignore certain files when moving over them you can customize the following to your liking:
(setq ranger-ignored-extensions '("mkv" "iso" "mp4"))To set the max files size (in MB), set the following parameter:
(setq ranger-max-preview-size 10)Key bindings
