.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
2019-09-15 21:27:53 +00:00
(Nnn's Not Noice) is a performance-optimized, feature-packed fork of noice (http://git.2f30.org/noice/) with seamless desktop integration, simplified navigation, \fInavigate-as-you-type\fR mode with auto select, disk usage analyzer mode, bookmarks, contexts, application launcher, familiar navigation shortcuts, subshell spawning and much more. It remains a simple and efficient file manager that stays out of your way.

.Sh CONFIGURATION
.Nm
2018-12-01 23:40:19 +00:00
uses \fIxdg-open\fR (on Linux) and \fIopen(1)\fR (on macOS) as the desktop opener.
.Pp
2019-06-20 13:40:47 +00:00
There is no configuration file. Associated files are stored in \fB${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nnn/\fR. Settings work on environment variables. See ENVIRONMENT section below.
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
2019-08-21 02:13:15 +00:00
- the current context is in reverse video
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.br
2019-03-23 14:14:07 +00:00
- other active contexts are underlined
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.br
2019-03-23 14:14:07 +00:00
- rest are inactive
2018-11-08 12:59:38 +00:00
.Pp
2019-08-21 02:13:15 +00:00
On context creation, the state of the previous context is copied. Each context remembers its last visited directory.
2019-03-23 14:14:07 +00:00
.Pp
Each context can have its own directory color specified. See ENVIRONMENT section below.
.Sh SESSIONS
Sessions are a way to save and restore states of work. A session stores the settings and contexts.
.Pp
Sessions can be loaded dynamically from within a running
.Nm
2019-10-18 22:31:46 +00:00
instance, or with a program option.
.Pp
2019-10-18 22:31:46 +00:00
When a session is loaded dynamically, the last working session is saved automatically to a dedicated
-- "last session" -- session file.
.Pp
2019-10-18 22:31:46 +00:00
All the session files are located in the \fB${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nnn/sessions\fR directory by the session name.
"@" is the "last session" file.
2014-10-22 11:52:45 +00:00
.Sh FILTERS
2020-01-11 10:42:34 +00:00
Filters are strings to find matching entries in the current directory instantly (\fIsearch-as-you-type\fR). There is a program option to switch to regex filters. Matches are case-insensitive by default.
2020-01-11 05:53:57 +00:00
.Pp
2020-01-11 10:42:34 +00:00
To modify match criteria at runtime:
2020-01-11 05:53:57 +00:00
.br
- string to regex: press '\\' at empty filter prompt
.br
- regex to string: press '/' at empty filter prompt
2020-01-11 10:42:34 +00:00
.br
2020-01-11 16:16:37 +00:00
- toggle case sensitivity: press ':' at empty filter prompt
2014-10-22 11:52:45 +00:00
.Pp
2019-12-14 08:36:00 +00:00
Common regex use cases:
.Pp
(1) To list all matches starting with the filter expression, start the expression
with a '^' (caret) symbol.
.br
2019-12-10 12:55:00 +00:00
(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
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
2019-09-28 15:08:41 +00:00
When there's a unique match and it's a directory,
.Nm
2019-12-14 14:54:42 +00:00
auto selects the directory and enters it in this mode. Use the relevant program option to disable this behaviour.
2019-04-21 18:37:48 +00:00
.Sh SELECTION
2019-12-13 18:47:16 +00:00
There are 3 groups of keybinds to add files to selection:
.Pp
2019-12-04 13:24:25 +00:00
(1) hovered file selection toggle (deselects if '+' is visible before the entry, else adds to selection)
.br
2019-12-13 18:47:16 +00:00
(2) add a range of files to selection (repeat the range key on the same entry twice to clear selection completely)
2019-10-06 14:22:30 +00:00
.br
(3) add all files in the current directory to selection
2019-09-29 17:29:27 +00:00
.Pp
2019-12-13 18:47:16 +00:00
A selection can be listed, edited, copied, moved, removed, archived or linked.
2019-11-29 15:28:12 +00:00
.Pp
2019-12-13 18:47:16 +00:00
Absolute paths of the selected files are copied to \fB.selection\fR file in the config directory.
2019-10-09 14:21:51 +00:00
.Pp
2019-12-13 18:47:16 +00:00
To edit the selection use the _edit selection_ key. Use this key to remove a file from selection after you navigate away from its directory. Editing doesn't end the selection mode. You can add more files to the selection and edit the list again.
2019-10-09 14:21:51 +00:00
.Sh FILE SIZE
The minimum file size unit is byte (B). The rest are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024), same as the default units in \fIls\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
2019-01-04 18:26:02 +00:00
when dealing with the !, e and p commands respectively. A single combination to arguments is supported for SHELL and PAGER.

2019-12-29 17:51:18 +00:00
NOTES:
1. To run a plugin directly, press \fI;\fR followed by the plugin key
2. To skip directory refresh after running a plugin,prefix with \fB-\fR

2017-06-11 04:15:50 +00:00
.Ed
.Pp
2019-11-20 21:08:34 +00:00
To assign keys to arbitrary non-background non-shell-interpreted cli
commands and invoke like plugins, add \fI_\fR (underscore) before the command.
.Bd -literal
2019-11-29 20:51:59 +00:00
export NNN_PLUG='x:_chmod +x $nnn;g:_git log;s:_smplayer $nnn;o:fzopen;m:nmount'
NOTES:
2019-11-23 20:43:27 +00:00
1. Use single quotes for $NNN_PLUG so $nnn is not interpreted
2. $nnn should be the last argument (IF you want to pass the hovered file name)
2019-12-29 17:51:18 +00:00
3. (Again) add \fB_\fR before the command
4. To disable directory refresh after running a \fIcommand as plugin\fR, prefix the command with \fB-_\fR
5. To skip user confirmation after command execution, suffix with \fB*\fR
export NNN_PLUG='y:-_sync*'
