NNN file manager Q&A
Raw
nnn_qna.md

My questions to NNN file manager, that arise as I use it.

Q: How to make "Filter" (invoked by /) do not automatically open unambiguous single item and allow further typing? Instead I want it to select item only by Enter.

A: Use nnn -A

Q: Usually I am able to open bookmarks (invoked by b) with "Filter" mode enabled automatically. But when I press comma (,) and then press Esc, after that I cannot access bookmarks by pressing b anymore. Instead it just prints keys: , and when I press another key it prints invalid key. How to return into previous mode, where I can access bookmarks directory by pressing b?

A: In this case just press Enter and you will get into symlinked bookmarks dir. Read more in man nnn, section BOOKMARKS.

Q: How to disable mouse completely?

A: Rebuild as make O_NOMOUSE=1 (-DNOMOUSE)
