That's # why such verb must have the `from_shell: true` parameter. # { # invocation: "cpa {dest}" # external: "cp -r {directory}/* {dest}" # from_shell: true # } # Here's an example of a shortcut bringing you to your home directory # { # invocation: home # key: ctrl-home # execution: ":focus ~" # } # Here's going to the work-dir root of the current git repository # { # invocation: gtr # execution: ":focus {git-root}" # } # A popular set of shortcuts for going up and down: # # { # key: ctrl-k # execution: ":line_up" # } # { # key: ctrl-j # execution: ":line_down" # } # { # key: ctrl-u # execution: ":page_up" # } # { # key: ctrl-d # execution: ":page_down" # } # If you develop using git, you might like to often switch # to the git status filter: # { # key: alt-g # execution: ":toggle_git_status" # } # You can reproduce the bindings of Norton Commander # on copying or moving to the other panel: # { # key: F5 # external: "cp -r {file} {other-panel-directory}" # leave_broot: false # } # { # key: F6 # external: "mv {file} {other-panel-directory}" # leave_broot: false # } ]
