Installing lf

Unfortunately there is no binary package of lf on RPI. 

https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file

lf is written is written in go, so that is required to compile it.

I  try to  maintain a Setup Sript that installs lf the way I like it.

Configuration is in /etc/lf/lfrc. Pressing 'C' in lf opens the configurationfile in an editor.

cmd edit-config ${{

    $EDITOR /etc/lf/lfrc

    lf -remote "send $id source /etc/lf/lfrc"

}}

map C edit-config

To have lf exit in to the last directory, an alias can be defined in .bashrc

lfcd () {

    # `command` is needed in case `lfcd` is aliased to `lf`

    cd "$(command lf -print-last-dir "$@")"

}

alias lf=lfcd

Previewer Mailcap

Mailcap is a convenient way to define which external Programms are used for viewing, editing and executing various file types. There is a rust version of mailcap. https://github.com/cglindkamp/run-mailcap-rs.git 

Again this needs to be compiled. In the lf configuration the previewer is set:

set previewer run-mailcap-rs

 The config file is in ~/.mailcap.

Fzf

https://github.com/junegunn/fzf?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

fzf will launch interactive finder, read the list from STDIN, and write the selected item to STDOUT.

find * -type f | fzf > selected

Without STDIN pipe, fzf will traverse the file system under the current directory to get the list of files.

vim $(fzf)
