Yeah it comes in the base distribution https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/autojump
But - if you're happy with ranger, i'm not sure it's worth the switch - they're very similar. nnn is quite a bit faster than ranger but other than that, i think ranger has more community support.
The integration is pretty decent in vim, i have it configured to open a window overlay on n (requires neovim) https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/...
That said, i don't find myself using that as much. Usually i'm in the shell when i invoke nnn - i might open a file in vim from nnn though.
In vim, i typically lean on fzf.vim more often - usually i know something about the next file i want to open so it just feels more direct.
powerlevel10k looks interesting with that builtin configuration wizard. I use https://starship.rs
You have to configure it yourself, but it works on bash, fish and zsh.
There's a broot alternative called lf that opens files in $EDITOR
I can't sing the praises enough of entr. Just check out its man page: http://eradman.com/entrproject/
entr lets you watch files and re-run a command any time they change. Whenever I'm working on a script, or go tests, or whatever test-like thing I'm doing that's not in its own bloated test harness, I reach for entr. Great software, does what it's supposed to every time.
I didn't know of entr, or inotify at the time. Years ago, I wrote a script that did mostly that, but I've found myself to instead rely on a script to rerun things based on global hotkeys. It scratches a different itch, but in case you want to check it out [0]
In short, you set up a global hotkey to trigger the rerun of a "key"-ed command. Then you can quickly run a command, which can be rerun with that hotkey.

There is also `watchexec` [1]. However I don't know how it compares to `entr` or other inotify clients.
I very much like nnn because it's lightweight, but does it have autojump integration[0]? It's the only single reason I am still using ranger.
There'll always be multiple ways to skin the proverbial cat.
Shameless plug but I'd written my own $SHELL callewd `murex` as I kept running into pain points with Bash as a DevOps engineer. The shell doesn't have `tree` inbuilt but it does have FZF-like navigation built in.

I've been using it as my primary shell for a few years now and I'm not going to pretend that it isn't BETA it does work. However it's not POSIX and some of the design decisions might rub people the wrong way (given how opinionated peoples work-flows are). But if you're curious then check it out.
js anonymous functions are valid inputs to the tool.
when the transformation turns to be more complex than exptected I can just copy and paste what I've made so far into a nodejs script.
you can also configure a .fxrc file to automatically import npm packages that you might find useful, shortcuts, or your personal functions.
On a similar note, zsh-history-substring-search has become something I look for everywhere.
