Jump to first file

[limaceous-bushwhacker]

I was wondering if there was a builtin way of jumping to the first file in a directory filled with both files and directories? Thanks in advance :)

There's no builtin command for this kind of movement, but assuming you have directories sorted above files this is a hacky solution:

map gf :set dironly true; bottom; set dironly false; down

Another alternative that is more flexible is to use the shell to determine the first file, and then call lf -remote to select it:

map gf %{{
    # replace this with any other method of getting a file
    file=$(ls -F | grep -v '[*/=>@|]$' | head -n 1)

    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        lf -remote "send $id select \"$file\""
    fi
}}

Thank @joelim-work. This is a good alternative
