As in the equivalent of mkdir dir1 dir2 when running in bash. This creates two separate directories, dir1 and dir2.



If you run :mkdir dir1 dir2 in ranger, it simply creates a directory called 'dir1 dir2'.

          By default, ranger doesn't use mkdir flags. (I tried to pass it, and it doesn't work.)



          But ranger provides the use of alias.



          alias [newcommand] [oldcommand]
          Copies the oldcommand as newcommand.


          So when you launch ranger you can set one to execute mkdir with the flags you need.



          :alias mkdir shell mkdir -p


          And then you can do:



          :mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3

            Stemming off of tntx's answer above, adding



            alias mkdir shell mkdir -p


            to my rc.conf works exactly as expected. This is preferred as it will automatically be loaded into ranger on startup
