.Sh CONFIGURATION
.Nm
is configured by modifying

and recompiling the code.
.Pp
See the environment and examples sections below for more options and information.
.Sh FILTERS
Filters support regexes to display only the matched
entries in the current directory view.  This effectively allows
searching through the directory tree for a particular entry.
.Pp
Filters do not stack on top of each other.  They are applied anew
every time.
.Pp
An empty filter expression resets the filter.
.Pp
If
.Nm
is invoked as root the default filter will also match hidden
files.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The SHELL, EDITOR and PAGER environment variables take precedence
when dealing with the !, e and p commands respectively.
.Pp
\fBNNN_DE_FILE_MANAGER:\fR set to a desktop file manager to open the current
directory with.
.Pp
\fBNNN_OPENER:\fR set to your desktop environment's default
mime opener to override all custom mime associations.
.br
Examples: xdg-open, gio open, gvfs-open.
.Pp
\fBNNN_FALLBACK_OPENER:\fR set to your desktop environment's default
mime opener to use as a fallback when no association is set for a file
type. Custom associations are listed in the EXAMPLES section below.
.Pp
\fBNNN_COPIER:\fR set to a clipboard copier script. For example, on Linux:
.Bd -literal
        -------------------------------------
        #!/bin/sh

        echo -n $1 | xsel --clipboard --input
        -------------------------------------
.Ed
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example shows one possible configuration for
file associations which is also the default if environment
variable NNN_OPENER is not set:
.Bd -literal
        -----------------------------------------------
        struct assoc assocs[] = {
	        { "\\.(c|cpp|h|txt|log|sh)$", "vi" },
	        { "\\.(wma|mp3|ogg|flac)$", "mpv" },
	        { "\\.pdf$", "zathura" },
        };
        -----------------------------------------------
Plain text files are opened with vi.
.br
Any other file types are opened with the 'xdg-open' command.
.Ed
.Sh KNOWN ISSUES
If you are using urxvt you might have to set backspacekey to DEC.
