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.
