lf directory history via fzf

[techeddie]

Hello,
can someone help me to implement a lf directory history?
I'm using fzf_jump to jump to a sub folder. Everytime I switch into a directory this should be stored and accessed via fzf.

  cmd fzf_jump ${{
      # res="$(find . -maxdepth 1 | fzf --reverse --header='Jump to location' | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/"/\\"/g')"
      res="$(fd | fzf --reverse --header='Jump to location' | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/"/\\"/g')"
      if [ -d "$res" ] ; then
          cmd="cd"
      elif [ -f "$res" ] ; then
          cmd="select"
      else
          exit 0
      fi
      lf -remote "send $id $cmd \"$res\""
  }}

thank you

Something like this maybe:

cmd fzf_jump_history ${{
	res="$(cat /tmp/lf_dir_history | fzf --reverse --header='Jump to location' | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/"/\\"/g')"
	if [ -d "$res" ] ; then
		cmd="cd"
	elif [ -f "$res" ] ; then
		cmd="select"
	else
		exit 0
	fi

	lf -remote "send $id $cmd \"$res\""
}}

cmd on-cd &{{
	list="$(tail -n 20 /tmp/lf_dir_history | sed "\|^$PWD$|d")"
	echo "$list"$'\n'"$PWD" > /tmp/lf_dir_history
}}

map b :fzf_jump_history

On every change it adds one last entry to a file in tmp, removes duplicates and removes older lines. On history command it displays content of tmp file

Awesome! Excatly what I was looking for.
Thank you

Is there an extra $ in cmd on-cd?

cmd on-cd &{{
	list="$(tail -n 20 /tmp/lf_dir_history | sed "\|^$PWD$|d")"
-	echo "$list"$'\n'"$PWD" > /tmp/lf_dir_history
+	echo "$list"'\n'"$PWD" > /tmp/lf_dir_history
}}

This change make a better look in "which-key".

-map b :fzf_jump_history
+map b fzf_jump_history

before:

after:

By the way, fzf_select: #705

[CAESIUS-TIM]

And is Ctrl+c the only way to exit both fzf cmd above and stay in lf without select?

[DusanLesan]

This could be shell specific. I think I've needed to use $'\n' to echo new lines without adding any parameters to it
You can bind actions to custom fzf keys. I like using esc for such cases
