I'm new to doom emacs and I like it but I'm still new, so I saw this package called ranger that is a minor mode inside emacs and I want to make it run by default whenever I open dired. The documentation says set this variable ranger-override-dired-mode t, but I don't know where to start.

I tried to add this in ~/.doom.d/config.el but it crashes when launch emacs can you please guide me !!

  • What error message do you get? It is unlikely that setting a variable can do that, so I suspect something else is wrong. Does it work when you don't set the variable? – NickD Jul 17 '20 at 13:24
  • when i add this line "(ranger-override-dired-mode t)" it crashes – ezio Jul 17 '20 at 14:34
  • @NickD but when i add "(setq ranger-override-dired-mode t)" it doesnt crash but when i open dired i dont get the features of ranger :( – ezio Jul 17 '20 at 14:36

Doom's :emacs dired module has a +ranger flag. Enable it and run doom sync on the command line. i.e. uncomment :emacs (dired +ranger) in ~/.doom.d/init.el.

Then ranger will be the default UI for dired.

See this entry in the manual for details on what Doom modules (and flags) are.
