How to mark a folder as the destination for pasting in ranger?
In ranger, I am often copying a bunch of files from one folder to another. Currently I do it like this:
- Select files with
Space - Cut with
F6 - Navigate to the destination folder
- Paste with
pp
This is tedious when I am actually moving over files in multiple batches, or from multiple different locations. Can I mark a folder as the "destination" so that pasting would send files there automatically, without having to move back and forth between folders?

Still don't know how to do this, but bookmarks kind of accomplish it.
You can do m1 too bookmark a folder as "1". Then move to another folder and bookmark with m2. Now, to switch use:
`1
`2
# go back to previous bookmark
``
That makes the copying a lot easier.
