You can set glow (https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow) as the markdown previewer in nnn if you use a customer opener.

Also check if your terminal supports Shift-PgUp/PgDn to scroll up/down a page.

Works in gnome terminal: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/adv-keybo...

Yes, nnn is completely navigation oriented with an extra focus on speed and remaining lightweight. The plugin autojump supports jump/autojump/zoxide.

> but it (like ranger) doesn't seem to support this out of the box

No utility can support cd-on-quit out of the box because a spawned process can't send the $PWD to the parent directly when it quits. It needs tweaks in your shell's rc file. nnn also needs the same instrumentation.

Yes, as a user I feel nnn was extremely disruptive as a FM. As the author I see at least 7 to 8 FMs drawing inspiration from it, which is a very positive testimony.

Got it! Thanks for clarifying.

Can you please elaborate what you mean by "half baked"? nnn has macOS users and I believe the number is picking up given we are getting more bug reports from macOS users recently. Knowing macOS users, we can consider polishing some crude corners if the problem statement seems reasonable.

> I did not want to learn a new set of keystrokes.

You don't really need to learn too many new keystrokes for the set of functionality you get in ranger. Many of them are same too.

nnn supports all of them BTW - find, grep, fd, ripgrep...

Yes, that's a good file manager too! Especially for people familiar with vim.
