Ranger custom configuration

Configuration files are located at /etc/range/config/

• commands.py: contains various functions’ implementation, written in Python, used to modify ranger’s behavior,
• rc.conf: is used for setting various options and binding the keys to functions,
• rifle.conf: decides which program to use for opening which file,
• scope.sh: is a shell script used to generate the previews for various file types.

It’s quite common to use ranger --copy-config=all to copy the default config files to ~/.config/ranger and modify them there.
