<C-o> - like functionality. [ Enhancement ] [ Willing to help ] about lf HOT 5 CLOSED

lf already has a jump list, is this what you are looking for? https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/doc.md#jump-next-default--jump-prev-default-

from lf.

I made a simple solution for tab management:

cmd tab-search ${{
    res="$(cat ~/.local/share/lf/tabs | fzf --reverse --header='Jump to location' --exact --color=fg:#f8f8f2,hl:#bd93f9 --color=fg+:#f8f8f2,bg+:#44475a,hl+:#bd93f9 --color=info:#ffb86c,prompt:#50fa7b,pointer:#ff79c6 --color=marker:#ff79c6,spinner:#ffb86c,header:#6272a4 --preview 'tree {}' || true)"
    lf -remote "send $id cd \"$res\""
}}

cmd on-quit :{{
    $cat /dev/null > ~/.local/share/lf/tabs
}}

map ts tab-search
map tt &echo "$PWD" >> ~/.local/share/lf/tabs
map <a-1> &lf -remote "send $id cd \"$(cat ~/.local/share/lf/tabs | sed -n '1,1p')\""
map <a-2> &lf -remote "send $id cd \"$(cat ~/.local/share/lf/tabs | sed -n '2,2p')\""
map <a-3> &lf -remote "send $id cd \"$(cat ~/.local/share/lf/tabs | sed -n '3,3p')\""

Press tt to save actual directory.
Press ts to search saved tabs (required fzf and tree command under linux)
Press Alt+1 to jump the first tab
Press Alt+2 to jump the second tab
Press Alt+3 to jump the fthird tab
When quit from lf, then tabs erased.

As you can see, it is possible to switch between 3 tabs by default, but you can add an extra row at any time that changes.

Of course, this is not a complete solution, as you cannot visually see how many tabs exist and which tab is active, but it is good for not having to open another lf and waste space on the monitor, or to open the fixed window for another lf - and thus walk half the size. This is how I use it, and this solution is also perfect for me, for example to copy or do anything else, and to be able to quickly jump back and forth many "tabs".

Well, yes. This is exactly why I miss the tab function too.

Yup this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for pointing it out.

Kind of hacky but works. Thanks for sharing!
