hotkey mapping

map <C-f> fzf_select
map <C-g> fzf_locate
to include /media to the locate command database
sudo vim /etc/updatedb.conf

extra info
From the Ranger man page :
map key command
Assign the key combination to the given command. Whenever you type
the key/keys, the command will be executed. Additionally, if you use
a quantifier when typing the key, like 5j, it will be passed to the
command as the attribute "self.quantifier".
In our case the quantifier is any key before pressing the fzf_select keybinding
