.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm

more.It remains a simple and efficient file manager that stays out of your way.

.Sh CONFIGURATION
|
|
There is no configuration file. Associated files are at
|
|
.Pp
|
|
\fB${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nnn/\fR
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configuration is done using a few optional (set if you need) environment
|
|
variables. See ENVIRONMENT section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses \fIxdg-open\fR (on Linux), \fIopen(1)\fR (on macOS), \fIcygstart\fR on
|
|
(Cygwin) and \fIopen\fR on (Haiku) as the desktop opener. It's also possible
|
|
to specify a custom opener. See ENVIRONMENT section.
|
|
.Sh 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:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
- the current context is in reverse video
|
|
.br
|
|
- other active contexts are underlined
|
|
.br
|
|
- rest are inactive
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On context creation, the state of the previous context is copied. Each context
|
|
remembers its last visited directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each context can have its own directory color specified. See ENVIRONMENT
|
|
section.
|
|
.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
|
|
instance, or with a program option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a session is loaded dynamically, the last working session is saved
|
|
automatically to a dedicated -- "last session" -- session file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All the session files are located by session name in the directory
|
|
.Pp
|
|
\fB${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nnn/sessions\fR
|
|
.Pp
|
|
"@" is the "last session" file.
|
|
.Sh FILTERS
|
|
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. In each context the
|
|
last filter is persisted at runtime or in saved sessions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Special keys at filter prompt:
|
|
.Bd -literal

|
Key | Function
|

|

Special keys at \fBempty filter prompt\fR:

|

|
|

.Ed

Additional special keys at \fBempty filter prompt\fR

|
.Bd -literal

------ + ------------------------
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Common regex 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.
|
|
.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, allowing continuous navigation. Works best with the \fBarrow keys\fR.
|
|
.br
|
|
When there's a unique match and it's a directory,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
auto selects the directory and enters it in this mode. Use the relevant
|
|
program option to disable this behaviour.
|
|
.Sh SELECTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows file selection across directories and contexts!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are 3 groups of keybinds to add files to selection:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(1) hovered file selection toggle (deselects if '+' is visible before the
|
|
entry, else adds to selection)
|
|
.br
|
|
(2) add a range of files to selection (repeat the range key on the same entry
|
|
twice to clear selection completely)
|
|
.br
|
|
(3) add all files in the current directory to selection
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A selection can be edited, copied, moved, removed, archived or linked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Absolute paths of the selected files are copied to \fB.selection\fR file in
|
|
the config directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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. If no file is selected in the current session, this option attempts
|
|
to list the selection file.
|
|
.Sh LIST FILES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can receive a list of files as input. The paths should be NUL-separated ('\\0')
|
|
but doesn't need to be NUL-terminated. Paths and can be relative to the current
|
|
directory or absolute.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Input is limited by 65,536 paths or 256 MiB of input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Start
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in this mode by writing to its standard input. So the output of another command
|
|
can be piped to it. For example, to list files in current directory larger than
|
|
1M:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
find -maxdepth 1 -size +1M -print0 | nnn
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or you can redirect a list from a file:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
nnn < files.txt
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A temporary directory will be created containing symlinks to the given
|
|
paths. Any action performed on these symlinks will be performed only on their
|
|
targets, after which they might become invalid.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Though the term "files" is used, any input is valid as long as it's a valid
|
|
path. \fBInvalid paths are ignored.\fR
|
|
.Sh UNITS
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The SHELL, EDITOR (VISUAL, if defined) and PAGER environment variables are
|
|
used. A single combination of arguments is supported for SHELL and PAGER.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
\fBNNN_OPENER:\fR specify a custom file opener.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
export NNN_OPENER=nuke
|

|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
\fBNNN_PLUG:\fR directly executable plugins as \fIkey_char:location\fR pairs
|
|

|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
export NNN_PLUG='o:fzopen;p:mocplay;d:diffs;m:nmount;t:imgthumb'
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
export NNN_PLUG='m:-mediainfo'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
export NNN_PLUG='x:_chmod +x $nnn;g:_git log;s:_smplayer $nnn;o:fzopen'
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1. Use single quotes for $NNN_PLUG so $nnn is not interpreted
|
|
2. $nnn should be the last argument (IF used)
|
|
3. (Again) add \fB_\fR before the command
|
|
4. To disable directory refresh after running a \fIcommand as plugin\fR,
|
|
prefix with \fB-_\fR
|
|
5. To skip user confirmation after command execution, suffix with \fB*\fR
|
|
|
|
export NNN_PLUG='y:-_sync*'
|
|
|
|
6. To run a \fIGUI app as plugin\fR, add a \fB|\fR after \fB_\fR
|
|
|
|
export NNN_PLUG='m:-_|mousepad $nnn'
|
|
|
