To edit all text files in EDITOR (preferably CLI, fallback vi):
- export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1
+ export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1
Arguments to the `$EDITOR`, `$PAGER` and `$SHELL` should be combined together, e.g.,
- export EDITOR='vim -xR'
+ export EDITOR='vim -xR'
#### Help
$TMPDIR or,
/tmp
-To see the path to the temporary copy file, run `nnn`, press <kbd>?</kbd> and look up `copy file`.
+The path is shown in the help and configuration screen..
To use the copied paths from the cmdline, use command substitution. For example, if `DIR` above is `/home/user`:
##### to clipboard
-Along with default copy, `nnn` can pipe the absolute path of the current file or multiple files to a copier script. For example, you can use `xsel` on Linux or `pbcopy` on OS X.

-Sample Linux copier script:
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- # comment the next line to convert newlines to spaces
- IFS=

- echo -n $1 | xsel --clipboard --input

-export `NNN_COPIER`:
+To inform `nnn` of the executable copier script location:
export NNN_COPIER="/path/to/copier.sh"
#### integrate patool
-On systems where `atool` is not available but `patool` is, drop two copies of the Python3 script [natool](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/scripts/natool) as `atool` and `apack` somewhere in `$PATH`.
