Something like :panel_right_no_open for staging area -- :focus_staging_no_open ? about broot HOT 8 CLOSED

Filtering verbs by the kind of panel might find more use.

Something like

    {
        invocation: my_rm
        internal: trash
        panels: ["stage"]
    }

?

Oh, thanks! I'm looking at that filter description (docs say it should be stage) but am unclear on the behavior.

If I assign that to the invocation rm, and invoke it while the non-staging panel has focus, will that run and apply to the staging panel? And if no staging panel is open, it will continue to do the default rm thing?

That's the idea.
But it looks like this filter is broken (implementation is missing for some verb triggering types). I'll have a look.

With #934, if you define a rm with a panels: ["stage"] filter, it will be applied when called in the staging area, while the other one will be applied in other panel types.

I think there may have been a misreading of the behavior I'm after, especially as written in my last comment. I just tested with 1.43.0 and the my_rm verb from here, with the following setup (Zsh):

$ mkdir rmtest
$ touch rmtest/do_{,not_}trash_{1,2,3}
$ br rmtest

I then mark/select the three do_trash_* files, and move focus to one of the do_not_trash_* files.

If I try my_rm here it says "verb not found" (because of the filter). I was looking for something that would act on the non-focused staging panel.

But also, when I change focus to the staging panel and try the my_rm verb, nothing happens when I hit enter (it still says "Hit enter to my_rm: :trash").
