Describe the feature

Is it possible to have a ranger-like layout? Its nice to see parent directories and child files/dirs in a 3 column layout like ranger. Has anyone implemented something similar?

Technically possible, would require some work. Not a priority for me, but I would be willing to review a PR that does this.

You could also check out mini.files, which exclusively uses this kind of view.
