I am inside terminal emacs.

I'd like to run ranger in foreground.

However, the following code doesn't work:

(call-process "/usr/bin/ranger")

Note, I don't want emacs to simulate a pty (e.g., ansi-term) for ranger. I want the ranger run in my real pty, the one where my emacs resides in.

I'm not sure if what you want is possible. Normally you'd do M-x suspend-frame, which will drop you to the shell, run whatever program, and then fg to bring back Emacs. You might be able to do this with something like tmux or screen, but I'm not very familiar with them.
