marking files vs bookmarking #161

Feel free to flame me, but I'm trying to understand the logic of why ranger-create-mark creates a bookmark instead of marking files to be manipulated en masse?

I wanted to mark several files in a directory to yank all at once and paste into another directory. Logic told me to use the m key to mark those files so they could be manipulated. Instead I created a bunch of bookmarks that I had to delete with bookmark-delete. Is this an intended feature?

... So I just realized C-Space marks the files. That was what I was looking for. That's probably a standard emacs convention.
