Remove open terminal function about superfile HOT 13 CLOSED

I will delete this function.

But I will add use / or some other key to open a line of command input at the bottom to replace this function.

I don't care if you add it, it's your application. But IMO if you need another terminal at the same time, use a terminal multiplexer.

wait, we can do that? what is the keybinding for that?

from superfile.

Wow i never know that.
but i think not everyone using Tmux.

One idea I actually came up with is to use / or some other key to open a line of command input at the bottom.

@AnshumanNeon Yep, in globalController.go.

nope, nothing happening on pressing ctrl+t

Sure, not everyone is using Tmux. But not everyone is using VLC or MPV either but that doesn't mean we would implement it in a file manager^^

i am using tmux

from superfile.

It spawns but nothing happens. It's inherently broken (and just a bad idea IMO).

from superfile.

yeah, i don't think that it has a use. i'll just remove it.

May i ask about why not?
I mean it's very useful for opening like "code .", at least for me :(

You might want to open the terminal directly to the directory you have navigated to in the file panel.

@MHNightCat Was this added? It was the first thing I looked for when trying Superfile today.

I do use TMUX, but that doesn't mean a quick way to execute commands isn't welcome, especially if there's a way to automatically include selected files in the Visual selection mode. ( e.g / <command> {} )

The file manager nnn (n³) has this sort of feature, for reference. You can launch a shell in the PWD or enter a command in a prompt, as well as a very useful "cd on quit".

Midnight Commander, an old and well known TUI file manager, also features a command-line at the bottom approach.

As does Ranger.

Edit: Made into a new issue. #127
