## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
#### Contexts
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
- the current context is in reverse video
|
||||
- other active contexts are underlined
|
||||
- rest are inactive
|
||||
|
||||
On context creation, the state of the previous context is copied. Each context remembers its last visited directory.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Context-specific color
|
||||
|
||||
Each context can have its own directory color specified in `NNN_CONTEXT_COLORS`.
|
||||
|
||||
colors: 0-black, 1-red, 2-green, 3-yellow, 4-blue (default), 5-magenta, 6-cyan, 7-white
|
||||
|
||||
##### Dual pane
|
||||
|
||||
Any number of `nnn` instances can be opened simultaneously using a terminal multiplexter. For example, to open 2 instances or a dual pane mode in `dvtm`, have the following alias:
|
||||
|
||||
alias n2="dvtm -m '^h' nnn nnn"
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the `dvtm` MOD key is redefined to <kbd>^H</kbd> as the default one (<kbd>^G</kbd>) is also an `nnn` shortcut.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Use <kbd>^K</kbd> to select the file under the cursor.
|
||||
|
||||
To select multiple files:
|
||||
|
||||
- press <kbd>^Y</kbd> to enter selection mode. In this mode it's possible to
|
||||
- cherry-pick individual files one by one by pressing <kbd>^K</kbd> on each entry (works across directories and contexts); or,
|
||||
- navigate to another file in the same directory to select a range of files
|
||||
- press <kbd>^Y</kbd> again to save the selection and exit selection mode.
|
||||
|
||||
_NOTE:_ If you are on BSD/macOS, please check the [BSD terminal issue](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Troubleshooting#bsd-terminal-issue) with <kbd>^Y</kbd> for workaround.
|
||||
|
||||
Selected files are visually indicated by a `+` before the entries.
|
||||
|
||||
The selection can now be listed, copied, moved, removed, archived or linked.
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to a target directory then use <kbd>P</kbd> (cp) or <kbd>V</kbd> (mv) to copy or move the selected files.
|
||||
|
||||
Absolute paths of the selected files are copied to the temporary file `.selection` in the config directory. The path is shown in the help and configuration screen. If `$NNN_COPIER` is set the file paths are also copied to the system clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Filters
|
||||
|
||||
Filters support regexes (default) to instantly (search-as-you-type) list the matching entries in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Common use cases:
|
||||
- to list all matches starting with the filter expression, start the expression with a `^` (caret) symbol
|
||||
- type `\.mkv` to list all MKV files
|
||||
- use `.*` to match any character (_sort of_ fuzzy search)
|
||||
|
||||
There is a program option to filter entries by substring match instead of regex.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Navigate-as-you-type
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode directories are opened in filter mode, allowing continuous navigation. Works best with the **arrow keys**.
|
||||
|
||||
When there's a unique match and it's a directory, `nnn` auto selects the directory and enters it in this mode. Use the relevant program option to disable this behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode takes navigation to the next level when short, unique keypress sequences are possible. For example, to reach `nnn` development directory (located at `~/GitHub/nnn`) from my `$HOME` (which is the default directory the terminal starts in), I use the sequence <kbd>g</kbd><kbd>n</kbd>.
|
||||
|
||||
#### File indicators
|
||||
|
||||
The following indicators are used in the detail view:
|
||||
|
||||
| Indicator | File Type |
|
||||
|:---:| --- |
|
||||
| `/` | Directory |
|
||||
| `*` | Executable |
|
||||
| <code>|</code> | Fifo |
|
||||
| `=` | Socket |
|
||||
| `@` | Symbolic Link |
|
||||
| `b` | Block Device |
|
||||
| `c` | Character Device |
|
||||
| `?` | Unknown |
