Ranger : Open with vim in new window
Using : st, Ranger, vim, i3
With most files when I open them with ranger it opens in a new window. However, when I try to open a file with vim it opens it in the current terminal which is currently running ranger.
I understand why it does it, I'm just not finding how to get the desired outcome of opening files with vim (from ranger) in a new terminal.
