This is a follow-up to this question: I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut for the terminal file manager ranger, in order to jump from the zsh prompt into the file manager with a single keystroke. I was following the linked answer, adding this to my .zshrc:



run_ranger () echo; ranger; zle redisplay 
zle -N run_ranger
bindkey '^f' run_ranger


The key binding itself works, however ranger fails to start with Error: Must run ranger from terminal. I had a look at the ranger code (Python) and it performs the common check sys.stdin.isatty() to verify that is has a TTY stdin. How can I modify the zle widget so that stdin is properly set?
