  • Wrote my own functions for lf
    1 project | /r/neovim | 6 Nov 2023
    As a rational why I did that: I often switch directories with lf (:cd) and to restore my session I had to use some hooks like DirChanged and DirChangedPre to get around some weird things happening in the lf plugin by lmburns which I used (not trying to shame, it's a great plugin, probably just not a fit for me). So to remove those, I thought why not give it a try, I also recently wrote my own functions for lazydocker / lazygit and lf also fits into the same category.
