 Absolute paths of the selected files are copied to the temporary file \fB.selection\fR in the config directory. The path is shown in the help and configuration screen. If \fB$NNN_COPIER\fR is set (see ENVIRONMENT section below) the file paths are also copied to the system clipboard.

-Repeat range selection on the same entry to clear selection.

-allows selection across directories making it non-trivial to do that. Also, the buffer used to select is a compact one (no byte wasted) so \fBmemmove\fR() would be required to deselect each intermediate file. Considering these, we kept the solution simpler.

 The minimum file size unit is byte (B). The rest are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024), same as the default units in \fIls\fR.
