| I agree. Would be very nice if this was an option at least (that could be turned on by configuration). On the design considerations [1] they state: > Previewing large files on selection is a wastage of processing power and time. A slow/faulty disk or over the network access makes the experience very painful. You only need the first lines of the file, not the whole file, so this argument is not valid. > It's also a risk to privacy and confidentiality. Users should see only what they explicitly want to see. Not valid if preview is off by default. A hotkey could toggle preview mode. Yes, you can open each file in a pager. Exit the pager, go to the next file and repeat. That is slow and painful. Being able to browse a code repository with file preview is the main reason I will probably not use this and stick with ranger. It's a deal breaker for me. I really like that it's fast (I've tried using ranger on the USB Armory – it was very slow), and if preview was added as an option I would seriously reconsider.
