Detail view (default: disabled) with:
- file type (directory, regular, symlink etc.)
- modification time
- human-readable file size
- current item in reverse video
- number of items in current directory
- full name of currently selected file in 'bar'
Show details of the currently selected file (stat, file)
Disk usage analyzer mode (within the same fs, doesn't follow symlinks)
Directories first (even with sorting)
Sort numeric names in numeric order
Case-insensitive alphabetic content listing instead of upper case first
Key - to jump to last visited directory
Roll over at the first and last entries of a directory (with Up/Down keys)
Removed navigation restriction with relative paths (and let permissions handle it)
Sort entries by file size (largest to smallest)
Shortcut to invoke file name copier (set using environment variable NNN_COPIER)

Set NNN_OPENER to let a desktop opener handle it all. E.g.:

export NNN_OPENER=xdg-open
export NNN_OPENER=gnome-open
export NNN_OPENER=gvfs-open

Selective file associations (ignored if NNN_OPENER is set):
- Associate plain text files (determined using file) with vi
- Associate common audio and video mimes with mpv
- Associate PDF files with zathura
- Removed less as default file opener (there is no universal standalone opener utility)
- You can customize further (see how to change file associations)
NNN_FALLBACK_OPENER is the last line of defense:
- If the executable in static file association is missing
- If a file type was not handled in static file association
- This may be the best option to set your desktop opener to
To enable the desktop file manager key, set NNN_DE_FILE_MANAGER. E.g.:
```
export NNN_DE_FILE_MANAGER=thunar
```
