[Feature] Exit with cd into the current dir about joshuto HOT 10 CLOSED

Will probably need to write some sort of hack for this (combination of shell script and rust). I will see what I can do

from joshuto.

As far as I know, this would require some really hanky code or a shell plugin. It would be probably better to start nested shell instance inside of joshuto like ranger does with it's S shortcut

from joshuto.

It looks like ranger is using some ipc magic.

See the signal lib and signal_emit

@kamiyaa I found the way to change dir on exit. This is the script I use. Take a look at ranger's --choosedir option. It dumps last visited dir path to that file and then will be used for cd. You can provide similar options.

ranger-cd () {
        tmpfile='/tmp/choosedir'
        curdir=$(pwd)
        ranger --choosedir="$tmpfile" "${@:-$curdir}"
        if [[ -f "$tmpfile" ]] && [[ $(cat "$tmpfile") != $curdir ]]
        then
                cd $(cat $tmpfile)
        fi
        rm -i -f "$tmpfile"
}

@kamiyaa Hi, did you happen to realize this approach? I would like to contribute but my rust language is poor...

from joshuto.

Usage:

alias joshuto='joshuto --lastdir /tmp/$USER/joshuto-lastdir;
	LASTDIR="$(cat /tmp/$USER/joshuto-lastdir)";
	[ "$LASTDIR" != "$(pwd)" ] && cd "$LASTDIR"';

Feel free to re-open if there are still issues

Hi, I'm testing Joshotu after hitting some issues with Ranger. It's unclear how to currently enable this behavior effectively. I assume this is given as an alias to simply add to .bashrc, but the actual command in joshuto --help seems to be --last-dir <last-dir>, which doesn't make sense with the usage alias given here. It's not clear from --help what the --last-dir option actually does or what should be entered as the into <last-dir> when calling the option.

@liamtimms you can checkout my setup https://github.com/ztlevi/dotty-config/blob/main/shell/joshuto/rc.zsh. But agree, this part need clearer documentation

from joshuto.

Thanks, it seems I had to switch to the git version to get that to work, but I did adapt it to work now. It definitely would benefit from more information in --help or the addition of a man page.

Hey, everything should be documented under docs/

For example, https://github.com/kamiyaa/joshuto/blob/main/docs/configuration/keymap.toml.md#general
explains the new behavior of the quit command.

If you feel this is not enough documentation, feel free to add to it.
I'm also open to the idea of a manpage or making --help more useful. 👍
