rangerPOWER

This used to be the main ranger repository, but after it moved to github.com/ranger/ranger, this became my personal ranger repo, which I renamed to rangerPOWER so that it's not confused for the main repo.

Does anyone know of a tool like ranger[1] for visualizing JSON on the terminal? There is a Chrome Extension[2], but nothing useful to browse JSON on the terminal (it doesn't have to be like ranger, I'm looking for any tool that makes it easier to take a look at a JSON file).

Sorry for the late reply. I found it, I got the method from this blog post [1] initally. Also see [2]. However, I'm sad to say that when I tried this again rn, it didn't work anymore. (I know for a fact it used to work great because I used to use it.) The funny thing is, ranger's image preview still works for me (same terminal and everything), so I guess one could start going through the ranger source code to see how they wrap w3mimagedisplay if they really wanted to. I don't really have the motivation for that though because, although I'm a heavy terminal user (and it would be nice), recently switching to emacs means a lot of my file management can be done with dired (an emacs package). And dired can do image previews quite nicely already [3] (I'm assuming provided you're using GUI emacs^). ^^ ^Emacs can fire up terminals inside it anywa

y, so using GUI emacs is not a problem for me, even though I'm heavily terminal orientated. ^^Although I think I prefer sxiv's thumbnail mode for browsing directories full of images (as opposed to a few here and there).
