Can we use ranger for changing working directory?

[ywpkwon]

Hi. I'm a big fan of ranger and vim, and it's so happy to see this plugin.

I have one question. In addition to finding/opening a file, can we use this for changing the working directory? (e.g, open ranger, navigate folders, and select a directory to set the directory as the working directory,)

pair it it with vim-rooter maybe?

You might want to enable fuzzysearch in ranger. Or markers.

pair it it with vim-rooter maybe?

That was a suggestion to the developer or to the op?
In case you meant the 2nd, I would appreciate some pointers in order to to that ;-)

I patched it to change working directory when you quit ranger.
I imagined people might want a variable or some way to control this behavior but for me i just always want it update the cwd. Just in case anyone wants to submit a proper PR ;)

    Add support for choosing directory when calling out to ranger
    when ranger exits, change the current working directory of vim to the
    last selected directory in ranger
