```
This example sets the class for `st` to `picker` and `nnn` uses a named session `picker`. This allows you to for example have the picker window float by default in your window manager and `nnn` remembers where your previous "Save as..." target was.

* Create a new file(<kbd>n</kbd>) and select it(<kbd>Enter</kbd>) to save the file with a different name.
