  17. <p align="center"><i>nnn in action! (Thanks Luke Smith for the video!)</i></a></p>
  18. `nnn` is probably the [fastest and most resource-sensitive](#comparison) file manager you have ever used. It integrates seamlessly with your DE and favourite GUI utilities, has a unique [navigate-as-you-type](#navigate-as-you-type-mode) mode with auto-select, disk usage analyzer mode, bookmarks, contexts, application launcher, familiar navigation shortcuts, subshell spawning and much more.
  19. [Integrate utilities](https://github.com/jarun/nnn#sample-scripts) like sxiv or fzy easily, transfer selected files using lftp or use it as a [(neo)vim plugin](https://github.com/jarun/nnn#neovim-plugin); `nnn` supports as many scripts as you need!
  20. It runs on Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, BSD, Cygwin, Linux subsystem for Windows and Termux.
  21. [Quickstart](#quickstart) and see how `nnn` simplifies those long desktop sessions.
  22. We need contributors. Please visit the [ToDo list](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/issues/137).
  23. *Love smart and efficient utilities? Explore [my repositories](https://github.com/jarun?tab=repositories). Buy me a cup of coffee if they help you.*

  214. Help & settings, file details, media info and archive listing are shown in the PAGER. Please use the PAGER-specific keys in these screens.
  215. #### Leader key
  216. The Leader key (<kbd>`</kbd> or <kbd>^/</kbd>) provides a powerful multi-functional navigation mechanism. It is case-sensitive and understands contexts, bookmarks and handy location shortcuts.
  217. | Key | Function |
  218. |:---:| --- |
  219. | <kbd>1-4</kbd> | Go to/create selected context |
  220. | <kbd>></kbd>, <kbd>.</kbd> | Go to next active context |
  221. | <kbd><</kbd>, <kbd>,</kbd> | Go to previous active context |
  222. | key | Go to bookmarked location |
  223. | <kbd>~</kbd> | Go to HOME directory |
  224. | <kbd>-</kbd> | Go to last visited directory |
  225. | <kbd>&</kbd> | Go to start directory |
  226. | <kbd>q</kbd> | Quit context |
  227. #### Contexts
  228. 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:
  229. - the current context is in reverse
  230. - other used contexts are underlined
  231. - rest are unused
  232. To switch to a context press the Leader key followed by the context number (1-4).
  233. The first time a context is entered, it copies the state of the last visited context. Each context remembers its start directory and last visited directory.
  234. When a context is quit, the next active context is selected. If the last active context is quit, the program quits.
  235. #### Directory color
  236. Each context can have its own color for directories specified:
  237. export NNN_CONTEXT_COLORS="1234"
  238. colors: 0-black, 1-red, 2-green, 3-yellow, 4-blue (default), 5-magenta, 6-cyan, 7-white
  239. #### Selection
  240. Use <kbd>^K</kbd> to copy the absolute path of the file under the cursor.
  241. To copy multiple absolute file paths:
  242. - press <kbd>^Y</kbd> (or <kbd>Y</kbd>) to enter selection mode. In this mode it's possible to
  243. - cherry-pick individual files one by one by pressing <kbd>^K</kbd> on each entry (works across directories and contexts); or,
  244. - navigate to another file in the same directory to select a range of files
  245. - press <kbd>^Y</kbd> (or <kbd>Y</kbd>) _again_ to copy the paths and exit the selection mode
  246. The files in the list can now be copied (<kbd>P</kbd>), moved (<kbd>V</kbd>) or removed (<kbd>X</kbd>).
  247. To list the file paths copied to memory press <kbd>y</kbd>.
  248. File paths are copied to the temporary file `DIR/.nnncp`, where `DIR` (by priority) is:
  249. $HOME or,
  250. $TMPDIR or,
  251. /tmp
  252. The path is shown in the help and configuration screen.
  253. #### Filters
  254. Filters support regexes by default to instantly (search-as-you-type) list the matching entries in the current directory.
  255. Common use cases:
  256. - to list all matches starting with the filter expression, start the expression with a `^` (caret) symbol
  257. - type `\.mkv` to list all MKV files
  258. - use `.*` to match any character (_sort of_ fuzzy search)
  259. To filter entries by substring match:
  260. export NNN_PLAIN_FILTER=1
  261. If `nnn` is invoked as root or the environment variable `NNN_SHOW_HIDDEN` is set the default filter will also match hidden files.
  262. #### Navigate-as-you-type mode
  263. In this mode directories are opened in filter mode, allowing continuous navigation. Works best with the **arrow keys**.
  264. In case of only one match and it's a directory, `nnn` auto selects the directory and enters it in this mode. To disable this behaviour,
  265. export NNN_NO_AUTOSELECT=1
  266. #### File indicators
  267. The following indicators are used in the detail view:
  268. | Indicator | File Type |
  269. |:---:| --- |
  270. | `/` | Directory |
  271. | `*` | Executable |
  272. | <code>&#124;</code> | Fifo |
  273. | `=` | Socket |
  274. | `@` | Symbolic Link |
  275. | `@/` | Symbolic Link to directory |
  276. | `b` | Block Device |
  277. | `c` | Character Device |
  278. #### Utility dependencies
  279. | External dependency | Operation |
  280. | --- | --- |
  281. | xdg-open (Linux), open(1) (macOS), cygstart (Cygwin) | desktop opener |
  282. | file | determine file type |
  283. | cp, mv, rm, xargs (from findutils on Linux) | copy, move and remove files |
  284. | mediainfo, exiftool | multimedia file details |
  285. | atool, patool ([integration](#integrate-patool)) | create, list and extract archives |
  286. | vidir (from moreutils) | batch rename, move, delete dir entries |
  287. | vlock (Linux), bashlock (macOS), lock(1) (BSD) | terminal locker |
  288. | $EDITOR (overridden by $VISUAL, if defined) | edit files (fallback vi) |
  289. | $PAGER | page through files (fallback less) |
  290. | $SHELL | spawn a shell, run script (fallback sh) |
  291. To edit all text files in EDITOR (preferably CLI, fallback vi):
  292. export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1
  293. Arguments to the `$PAGER` and `$SHELL` should be combined together.
  294. The option `open with` takes 1 combined argument.
  295. #### Help
  296. $ nnn -h
  297. $ man nnn
  298. To lookup keyboard shortcuts at runtime, press <kbd>?</kbd>.
  299. #### QUICKSTART
  300. 1. Install the [utilities required](#file-handling) for your regular activities.
  301. 2. Configure [cd on quit](#cd-on-quit).
  302. 3. Optionally open all text files in EDITOR (fallback vi):
  303. export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1
  304. 4. Run `n`.
  305. 5. Press <kbd>?</kbd> for help on keyboard shortcuts anytime.
  306. 6. For additional functionality [setup custom scripts](#run-custom-scripts).
  307. #### HOW TO
  308. #### add bookmarks
  309. Set environment variable `NNN_BMS` as a string of `key_char:location` pairs (max 10) separated by semicolons (`;`):
  310. export NNN_BMS='d:~/Documents;u:/home/user/Cam Uploads;D:~/Downloads/'
  311. NOTE: Bookmark keys should be single-character to use them in combination with the Leader key.
  312. #### copy file paths
  313. ##### to clipboard
  314. Along with default copy, `nnn` can pipe the absolute path of the current file or multiple files to a copier script. For example, you can use `xsel` on Linux or `pbcopy` on macOS. Here's a sample [copier script](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/scripts/user-scripts/copier.sh).
  315. To inform `nnn` of the executable copier script location:
  316. export NNN_COPIER="/path/to/copier.sh"
  317. ##### get selection manually
  318. NOTE: In the following examples we assume the copy file is at `/home/user/.nnncp`.
  319. The file paths are `NUL`-terminated, so additional processing is required to make them usable.
  320. To get a space-separated list of the file paths in selection:
  321. cat /home/user/.nnncp | xargs -0 echo
  322. To get a newline-separated list of the file paths in selection:
  323. # bash/zsh
  324. ls -ltr `cat /home/user/.nnncp | tr '\0' '\n'`
  325. ls -ltr $(cat /home/user/.nnncp | tr '\0' '\n')
  326. # fish
  327. ls -ltr (cat /home/user/.nnncp | tr '\0' '\n')
  328. An alias may be handy, e.g. when you want to copy selection at the _run a command_ prompt:
  329. alias ncp="cat /home/user/.nnncp | tr '\0' '\n'"
  330. so you can easily handle files together:
  331. # bash/zsh
  332. ls -ltr `ncp`
  333. ls -ltr $(ncp)
  334. # fish
  335. ls -ltr (ncp)
  336. To get the list in a file:
  337. ncp > out.txt
  338. #### cd on quit
  339. To quit `nnn` and switch to the directory last opened follow the instructions below.
  340. Pick the appropriate file for your shell from [`scripts/quitcd`](scripts/quitcd) and add the contents to your shell's rc file. You'll need to spawn a new shell for the change to take effect. You should start `nnn` as `n` (or modify the function name to something else). To change directory on quit press `^G` while exiting.
  341. As you might notice, `nnn` uses the environment variable `NNN_TMPFILE` to write the last visited directory path. You can change it.
  342. #### (neo)vim plugin
  343. `nnn` can be used as a file picker/chooser within vim or neovim. Find the plugin [here](https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim).
  344. #### file picker
  345. To use `nnn` as a file picker and redirect the output to other programs, use [picker.sh](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/scripts/user-scripts/picker.sh).
  346. Ways to pick files:
  347. - use selection and press <kbd>q</kbd> to quit
  348. - press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to pick any earlier selection and the current entry (to avoid selecting the last file in the selection twice, press <kbd>q</kbd> instead).
  349. Notes:
  350. - pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> on a directory enters it; when trying to pick a directory, e.g. to pipe to `cd`, use single file selection and press <kbd>q</kbd>
  351. - to discard selection and quit, press <kbd>^G</kbd>
  352. #### run custom scripts
  353. `nnn` can invoke custom scripts with the currently selected file name as argument 1.
  354. Export the absolute path to the directory with your scripts or a single script:
  355. export NNN_SCRIPT=/home/user/scripts
  356. OR
  357. export NNN_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/nscript.sh
  358. Press <kbd>R</kbd> to run the script in the current directory. You can also use this key to cancel choosing a script from the script directory.
  359. ##### sample scripts
  360. Sample scripts for use cases like sxiv or fzy integration are under [user-scripts](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/scripts/user-scripts). Feel free to contribute yours!
  361. #### launch applications
  362. Applications can be launched from the _run a command_ prompt. Use `&` to launch GUI applications in the background.
  363. #### change dir color
  364. The default color for directories is blue. Option `-c` accepts color codes from 0 to 7 to use a different color:
  365. 0-black, 1-red, 2-green, 3-yellow, 4-blue, 5-magenta, 6-cyan, 7-white
  366. Any other value disables colored directories.
  367. #### integrate patool
  368. On systems where `atool` is not available but `patool` is, drop two copies of the Python3 script [natool](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/scripts/natool) as `atool` and `apack` somewhere in `$PATH`.
  369. #### remote transfers
  370. lftp can be used with `nnn` for automated remote transfers or copying a selection to a server. Visit the [wiki page](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/simplify-remote-transfers-with-lftp) for more details on the integration.
  371. #### prompt shortcuts
  372. The prompts (expect filter prompt) support some bash-like command-line shortcuts - <kbd>^A</kbd>, <kbd>^E</kbd>, <kbd>^U</kbd>.
  373. Key <kbd>^L</kbd> clears and <kbd>Esc</kbd> exits _any_ prompt.
  374. #### set idle timeout
  375. The terminal locker is disabled by default. To set the wait time in seconds, use environment variable `NNN_IDLE_TIMEOUT`.
  376. #### hot-plugged drives
  377. Enable volume management in your DE file manager and set removable drives or media to be auto-mounted when inserted. Then visit the usual mount point location (`/mnt` or `/media/user`) in `nnn`.
  378. #### tmux configuration
  379. `nnn` might not handle keypresses correctly when used with tmux (see issue #104 for more details). Set `TERM=xterm-256color` to address it.
  380. #### BSD terminal issue
  381. By default in OpenBSD & FreeBSD, `stty` maps <kbd>^Y</kbd> to `DSUSP`. This means that typing <kbd>^Y</kbd> will suspend `nnn` as if you typed <kbd>^Z</kbd> (you can bring `nnn` back to the foreground by issuing `fg`) instead of entering multi-copy mode. You can check this with `stty -a`. If it includes the text `dsusp = ^Y`, issuing `stty dsusp undef` will disable this `DSUSP` and let `nnn` receive the <kbd>^Y</kbd> instead.
  382. #### restrict file open
  383. In order to disable opening files on accidental navigation key (<kbd>→</kbd> or <kbd>l</kbd>) press:
  384. export NNN_NO_FILE_OPEN_ON_NAV=1
  385. Use <kbd>Enter</kbd> to open files.
  386. #### restrict 0-byte files
  387. Restrict opening 0-byte files due to [unexpected behaviour](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/issues/187); use _edit_ or _open with_ to open the file.
  388. export NNN_RESTRICT_0B=1
  389. #### WHY FORK?
  390. `nnn` was initially forked from [noice](http://git.2f30.org/noice/) but is significantly [different](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/nnn-vs.-noice) today. I chose to fork because:
  391. - one can argue my approach deviates from the goal of the original project - keep the utility `suckless`. `noice` was rudimentary. In my opinion evolution is the taste of time.
  392. - I would like to have a bit of control on what features are added in the name of desktop integration. A feature-bloat is the last thing in my mind. Check out [nnn design considerations](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/nnn-design-considerations) for more details.
