.Nm
2018-11-10 06:36:21 +00:00
uses \fIxdg-open\fR (on Linux) and \fIopen(1)\fR (on OS X) as the desktop opener.
.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.
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.Sh CONTEXTS
2018-11-11 22:06:37 +00:00
Contexts serve the purpose of exploring multiple directories simultaneously. 4 contexts
are available. The status of the contexts are shown in the top left corner:
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.Pp
- the current context is in reverse
.br
- other used contexts are underlined
.br
- rest are unused
.Pp
2018-11-11 22:06:37 +00:00
To switch to a context press the Leader key followed by the context number (1-4).
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.Pp
The first time a context is entered, it copies the state of the last visited context. Each context remembers its start directory and last visited directory.
2018-11-08 14:46:08 +00:00
.Pp
When a context is quit, the next active context is selected. If the last active context is quit, the program quits.
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
2018-10-27 20:22:07 +00:00
Ways to exit filter prompt:
2017-12-26 04:34:10 +00:00
.Pp
2018-10-27 20:22:07 +00:00
(1) press \fI^L\fR to clear filter followed by \fIBksp\fR (to clear the filter symbol, like vi)
.br
2018-10-27 20:22:07 +00:00
- at other prompts \fI^L\fR followed by \fIEnter\fR discards all changes and exits prompt
.br
2018-10-27 20:22:07 +00:00
(2) run a search with no matches and press \fIEnter\fR
.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.
2018-05-01 04:39:10 +00:00
.br
(3) Use '.*' to match any character (\fIsort of\fR fuzzy search).
.Pp
If
.Nm
is invoked as root or the environment variable \fBNNN_SHOW_HIDDEN\fR is set 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.
.br
In case of only one match and it's a directory, `nnn` auto selects the directory and enters it in this mode.
2018-11-11 00:21:05 +00:00
.Sh SELECTION 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
2018-11-11 00:21:05 +00:00
To copy multiple file paths the selection mode should be enabled using \fI^Y\fR.
In this mode it's possible to
.Pp
2018-11-10 14:12:09 +00:00
(1) cherry-pick individual files one by one by pressing <kbd>^K</kbd> on each entry; or,
.br
(2) navigate to another file in the same directory to select a range of files.
.Pp
2018-11-11 00:21:05 +00:00
Pressing \fI^Y\fR again copies the paths and exits the selection mode. The files in the list can now
be copied, moved or removed using respective keyboard shortcuts.
2018-11-10 14:12:09 +00:00
.Pp
To list the file paths copied to memory press \fIy\fR.
2015-11-26 15:03:26 +00:00
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
2018-04-08 00:43:33 +00:00
The SHELL, EDITOR (VISUAL, if defined) and PAGER environment variables take precedence
2015-11-26 15:03:26 +00:00
