with fixes for neovim by Michael Hoang <enzime@users.noreply.github.com>

ranger is a file manager with VI key bindings.

This plugin is similar to nerdtree. It overrides the default file browser (netrw), so if you :edit a directory a ranger will be opened. When you open a file in ranger, it will be opened in neovim. You could also select multiple files and open'em all at once (use v to select multiple files in ranger). BTW, don't use it with nerdtree at the same time.

neovim

ranger >= 1.5.1

Add nnoremap <f9> :tabe %:p:h<cr> to your nvimrc, so that you could use <f9> to open new files in new tab.

1. After closing ranger, the prompt waiting for a key press is displayed. This can't be bypassed, and will hopefully be fixed by neovim-0.2.
2. <C-h> does not work in ranger through neovim, zh can be used instead.

This plugin is forked from the official ranger example here: https://github.com/hut/ranger/blob/master/examples/vim_file_chooser.vim

There are 2 main differences

1. Unlike the original plugin, in my plugin the files are opened in tabs instead of buffers.
2. Ranger will be opened automatically when you :edit a directory. The original plugin requires to execute a vim command to open ranger.
