Re: [Ranger-users] preview .txt-files?

[Ludo Beckers]

I don't see any editor mentioned here:

case "$mimetype" in
    # Syntax highlight for text files:
    text/* | */xml)
        highlight --out-format=ansi "$path" | head -n $maxln
        success && exit 5 || exit 2;;
    # Ascii-previews of images:
    image/*)
        img2txt --gamma=0.6 --width="$width" "$path" && exit 4 || exit 1;;
    # Display information about media files:
    video/* | audio/*)
        # Use sed to remove spaces so the output fits into the narrow window
        mediainfo "$path" | sed 's/  \+:/: /;'
        success && exit 5 || exit 1;;

to use gvim just set EDITOR=gvim in your bashrc 

Text files work here as expected. Check out scope.sh file in ranger config which is responsible for preview and see if it contains "case $mimetype" text. In anyway you can edit this file to set up any extension.

When I hit enter standing on a txt-file it opens with vim, but the preview column doesn't work for these files.
I do see preview for pdf2txt and such though - what setting did I miss to preview txt?

Also, is it ok to change all "vim" entries in ranger configuration files to "gvim"? (still getting my feet wet here ;-))
