Opening a file, it stays inside the small window?

[thepenguinthatwants]

Hi!

I've tried your plugin ranger and neovim is nice, but the problem is that it doesnt open the file into the buffer instead it opens up inside the floating window.

Any way to open it in nvim instead of staiying inside the floating window?

Rnvimr will automatically make ranger to open the file in neovim. I think this is your installation issue.

1. What's the :checkhealth rnvimr output in Neovim console?

2. What's the message output in ranger when input :eval os.getenv('VISUAL') in console inside Ranger?

Hi sorry! It seems to work.

Seems like its not possible to make it work like tpope vinegar plugin that it start it closes the window when I've opened a file?

[kevinhwang91]

:h rnvimr

g:rnvimr_pick_enable
    Default: 0

    Enable Ranger to be hidden after picking a file.
    It will automatically attach file in next |:RnvimrToggle|.

Hi!

Now I get it.. sorry I usually just create new empty files in ranger.

Seems like this works right if the files are not empty. Tho its a bug in that part that it opens up empty files inside the small window.

ranger open file using rifle. Already stated in the readme.

Q: Couldn't open some special type of files by using Enter or l in Ranger.
A: Please follow below steps to solve this issue:
The behavior of openning the file in Ranger depends on rifle.conf. Press r to make sure that the ${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} -- "$@" is the best candidate in Ranger.
If the case 1 is false, change the code in rifle.conf like 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} -- "$@"
execute:RnvimrSync to synchronize the rifle.conf just modified with Rnvimr.

If you want to open an empty file using ${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} -- "$@", you should change your rule of rifle.

OOh thanks. Sorry I somehow didnt get that earlier.

Is there also a way if I have multiple buffer in same window and open a file by rnvimr, is it possible to leave other buffer untouched and only change the current one?

[kevinhwang91]

Sorry for my inability to understand what you mean. Please explain clearly to me.

When I make a buffer split with and open rnvimr to choose a file to open. It open up in the whole window instead of the chosen buffer.

[kevinhwang91]

Do you mean all buffers in nvim' window open the same file chose by ranger? If yes, I can't reproduce your issue.
Please try a mini.vim like this:

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'kevinhwang91/rnvimr'
tnoremap <silent> <M-i> <C-\><C-n>:RnvimrResize<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <M-o> :RnvimrToggle<CR>
tnoremap <silent> <M-o> <C-\><C-n>:RnvimrToggle<CR>
call plug#end()

Hi, I have the same issue. When I run rnvimr within nvim and try to open the file in nvim,
it opens an instance of nvim in the rnvimr floating window rather than the running instance of nvim.
I am on xubuntu 18.04 with the latest neovim and ranger and a pyenv version of python3.7 in my shell.
When I run :checkhealth, health#rnvimr#check throws an error:
`ERROR: Failed to run healthcheck for "rnvimr" plugin. Exception: function health#check[21]..health#rnvimr#check[2]..154_check_python_ranger, line 7
Vim(let) :E688: More targets than List items.

OK, I have answered the problem as it pertains to myself:
rnvimr finds the apt installed (old) version of ranger and tries to use it. I uninstalled this and installed the python package with pip instead.
I have cloned your git repository and linked to ranger.py to run ranger from the shell (because the Ubuntu Repository ranger is outdated).
Within nvim, the rnvimr looks for ranger and can't find this version --- the symlink to ranger.py is in ~/bin --- but it can find the pip install ranger-fm version which runs within nvim.

@keevee09
Specify your Ranger path to g:rnvimr_ranger_cmd.

g:rnvimr_ranger_cmd
Default: 'ranger'
Use this command to run a process inside the floating window.
It can mix some command of Ranger, such as 'ranger --cmd="xxx"'.
