A plugin for the Ranger terminal file manager that adds a linemode prefixing file names with file icons/glyphs. It requires a NERDfont-patched terminal font and is configurable via environment variables.

Use cases

  • show file icons in ranger file manager
  • add devicons glyphs to ranger linemode
  • make ranger display file type icons
  • customize icon separator in ranger
  • translate ranger directory icon names to other languages

When to choose

  • you use Ranger as your terminal file manager and want visual file type icons
  • your terminal already uses a NERDfont-patched font
  • you want a lightweight, easily installed Ranger plugin

When to avoid

  • you don't use Ranger as your file manager
  • your terminal font lacks NERDfont glyphs
  • you need a standalone file manager rather than a plugin
