Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This change fixes #2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special meaning in a helm pattern. Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as representing "more layers here". |

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

(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
