Ranger in terminal
There are also some ranger plugins that provide some additional functionality, like inserting the path of the file you navigate to in ranger at your cursor. https://github.com/rafaqz/ranger.vim Or https://github.com/LoricAndre/OneTerm.nvim Which does a lot of other things, but also can open ranger in a floating window. (Not my plugins, just recommending)
