Rnvimr is a NeoVim plugin that allows you to use Ranger in a floating window.
Different than other Ranger vim-plugins, Rnvimr gives you full control over Ranger. It uses RPC to communicate with Ranger.
This plugin does not support Vim.

- Calibrated preview images for ueberzug
- Attach file automatically when toggling Ranger
- Adjust floating window size automatically after resizing NeoVim
- Adjust view automatically to adapt the size of floating window
- Fully customizable layouts for floating window
- Better experience for Pager view in Ranger
- Wipe out the buffers corresponding to the files deleted by Ranger automatically
- Enhanced border in Ranger
- Synchronize the current working directory of Neovim and Ranger

Example for yay in ArchLinux and pip in other *unix distributions:
# ArchLinux install all requirements is extremely convenient
yay -S ranger python-pynvim ueberzug
# ~ `ueberzug` can be replaced with `ueberzugpp` ~
# pip
# macOS users please install ranger by `pip3 ranger-fm` instead of `brew install ranger`
# There're some issues about installation, such as https://github.com/ranger/ranger/issues/1214
# Please refer to the issues of ranger for more details
pip3 install ranger-fm pynvim
# Ueberzug/Ueberzugpp is not supported in macOS because it depends on X11
pip3 install ueberzugUeberzug is optional

open up a file in a new tab, a new horizontal split, or in a new vertical split.
Pressing q in Ranger simply hides the floating window.
Ranger will attach the file of the current buffer in the next toggle event.

Q: Couldn't open some special types of files by using Enter or l in Ranger.
A: Please follow the below steps to solve this issue:
- The behavior of opening the file in Ranger depends on
rifle.conf. Pressrto make sure that the${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} -- "$@"is the best candidate in Ranger. - If the case 1 is false, change the code in
rifle.conflike that:
-!mime ^text, label editor, ext xml|json|csv|tex|py|pl|rb|js|sh|php = ${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} -- "$@"
+!mime ^text, label editor, ext xml|json|csv|tex|py|pl|rb|js|sh|php|your_file_type = ${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} -- "$@"Q: CheckHealth says RPC timeout.
A: Install Dependence first,
run ex command:echo $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS to
confirm that the message output is in a format like this /tmp/nvimIYj484/0 or a tcp format
address:port, Rnvimr needs this environment variable.
Q: How can I go back to the previous directory in Ranger after attaching a new file?
A: Press H in Ranger, mean go back to the last history directory.
Q: How can I use Ranger default configuration (vanilla)?
A: Write let g:rnvimr_vanilla = 1 to your vim configuration.
Q: let g:rnvimr_enable_ex = 1 can't work as expected.
A: Turn off the option of other plugins (like let g:NERDTreeHijackNetrw = 0 which is used in
NERDTree) or uninstall the conflicting plugins.
Q: In MacOS, I must press <ctrl-v> twice to split window vertically.
A: Please refer to #71 and use rnvimr_action
variable to remap <ctrl-v> as a workaround for the issue.
