oh I got it now, yes that's great ideal then!

but I just did a quick test of your code on vim (not gvim), I move my
cursor in ranger to a whatever file under my home ,say,
"/home/ping/file1.txt" and hit enter or 'l', I got
following error:
[Error 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/chosenfile/home/ping'
guess I need to strip off "/tmp/chosenfile"?

thanks
