[Ranger-users] Is there a "pure file-browse" mode

[Xu Wang]

Suppose that I am in the folder / in ranger and I want to navigate to
the folder /abc/def/ghi. But suppose I don't know the path by heart so
I do actually have to see the directory listings at each step
(otherwise I could just do "cd /ab/def/ghi" and that would be
fastest).

Currently to do that in ranger, I have to type:

/ab<enter>/de<enter>/gh<enter>

(suppose that a search for "ab" is enough to select "abc" folder)

What I want to avoid is entering the slashes. Of course they are
necessary because I need to enter search mode. But I want to do what I
can currently do in Nautilus:

ab<enter>de<enter>gh<enter>

Is there a way to achieve such workflow temporarily in Ranger?

Kind regards,

Xu
