.Sh CONFIGURATION
.Nm
uses \fIxdg-open\fR (on Linux) and \fIopen(1)\fR (on OS X) as the desktop
opener. It invokes
.Pa nlay
to run desktop search utility or screensaver. Read more on
.Pa nlay
at:
.br
.Em https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/all-about-nlay
.Pp
2017-06-11 13:54:02 +00:00
There is no configuration file. Settings work on environment variables. Please
refer to the ENVIRONMENT section below.
.Pp
2017-04-19 12:52:30 +00:00
Configuring
.Nm
to change to the last visited directory on quit requires shell integration in a
few easy steps. Please visit the project page (linked below) for the
instructions.
2014-10-22 11:52:45 +00:00
.Sh FILTERS
Filters support regexes to instantly (search-as-you-type) list the matching
entries in the current directory.
2014-10-22 11:52:45 +00:00
.Pp
There are 3 ways to reset a filter:
2017-12-26 04:34:10 +00:00
.Pp
(1) pressing \fI^L\fR (at the new/rename prompt \fI^L\fR followed by \fIEnter\fR
discards all changes and exits prompt),
.br
(2) a search with no matches or
.br
(3) an extra backspace at the filter prompt (like vi).
.Pp
Common use cases:
.Pp
(1) To list all matches starting with the filter expression, start the expression
with a '^' (caret) symbol.
.br
(2) Type '\\.mkv' to list all MKV files.
.Pp
If
.Nm
2017-04-19 12:52:30 +00:00
is invoked as root the default filter will also match hidden files.
.Pp
In the \fInavigate-as-you-type\fR mode directories are opened in filter mode,
2017-06-04 17:45:08 +00:00
allowing continuous navigation. Works best with the \fBarrow keys\fR.
.Sh MULTI-COPY MODE
The absolute path of a single file can be copied to clipboard by pressing \fI^K\fR if
NNN_COPIER is set (see ENVIRONMENT section below).
.Pp
To copy multiple file paths the multi-copy mode should be enabled using \fI^Y\fR.
In this mode it's possible to
.Pp
(1) select multiple files one by one by pressing \fI^K\fR on each entry; or,
.br
(2) navigate to another file in the same directory to select a range of files.
.Pp
Pressing \fI^Y\fR again copies the paths to clipboard and exits the multi-copy mode.
2015-11-26 15:03:26 +00:00
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The SHELL, EDITOR and PAGER environment variables take precedence
when dealing with the !, e and p commands respectively.
