### Other notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You should never use ranger to manipulate files. Ranger does one thing and does it well: explore files.
|
||
|
|
- You should not use tabs in ranger. What you would do with tabs can be accomplished easier with the terminal.
|
||
|
|
- Although bookmarks are a feature in ranger, your file management should be simple enough that bookmarks aren't required.
