How can I move all `marked` files to another directory in ranger?

Question

When I select multiple files within ranger (using <Space> or V), how do I move these selected files to another directory?

I've tried to use dd and pp, but this only moves the file that's currently highlighted.

Solution 1

With the files / directories marked, press dd, then navigate to the directory you want to paste them in and press p.

Solution 2

• use space to mark files i.e "toggle=true"
• use yt to yank files flagged as "toggle=true"
• enter the directory you want
• use pp to paste toggled files
• use dt instead of yt to cut instead of copy

I've found one way, using the ":cut" and ":paste" commands. I was looking specifically for a keybinding though.

dd is bound to cut by default - so dd should do what you want. Check your keybindings with ?k
