SEL_FIRST now displays the correct message (#556) 
A bit scary when you get prompted to remove a file but you wanted to
select a file.

I also made sure all strings are correctly ordered.

Introduction

nnn (or n³) is a full-featured terminal file manager. It's tiny and nearly 0-config with an incredible performance.

nnn can analyze disk usage, batch rename, launch apps and pick files. The plugin repository has tons of plugins and documentation to extend the capabilities further. You can plug new functionality and play with a hotkey. There's an independent (neo)vim plugin.

It runs smoothly on the Pi, Termux (Android), Linux, macOS, BSD, Haiku, Cygwin, WSL, across DEs and GUI utilities or a strictly CLI environment.

Black magic! 🕶️

Quickstart

  1. Install nnn and deps (if you need any).
  2. Configure cd on quit.
  3. Use option -e in your alias to open text files in $VISUAL/$EDITOR/ vi. Open detached if you wish.
  4. Install plugins.
  5. Use option -x to copy selected file paths to system clipboard and show notis on cp, mv, rm completion.
  6. For a CLI-only environment, customize and use plugin nuke with option -c (overrides -e).

Don't memorize! Arrows (or h j k l), /, q suffice. Tab creates, cycles contexts. ? lists shortcuts.
