wl-clipboard.xplr VS map.xplr

This operation tends to confuse some people coming from vim or some other terminal file manager, as there's no explicit "copy" or "yank". Once you select files and directories by pressing the space bar or v, you can go to the target path and paste or move the selected files by typing : s c or : s m. However, if it's too unintuitive for you, you can of-course configure it to behave as you want to. Also, there are plugins like xclip.xplr, wl-clipboard.xplr that utilizes the system clipboard to provide a more intuitive copy-paste experience. Additionally, if you hate that you have to do a lot of navigation for copy-pasting, checkout dual-pane.xplr or context-switch.xplr. With these plugins, you can easily switch between the source and target directories while copying or moving files.

It's possible to do it entirely in the command-line, using tools like xargs, and basic shell scripting, but xplr provides a more intuitive and interactive experience, using a plugin called map.xplr.

As you probably already know by now, you can perform any custom operation on the files visible in the table - $XPLR_PIPE_DIRECTORY_NODES_OUT, or the path under focus - $XPLR_FOCUS_PATH or the selected paths - $XPLR_PIPE_SELECTION_OUT etc. just by invoking the xplr shell by typing : !. Alternatively, you may want to explore plugins like map.xplr which lets you create and run custom commands interactively, even on multiple files at-once.

Mapper plugin: map.xplr

I just published this plugin to showcase the new features implemented in xplr v0.15.
