Toggle to show only items in current directory

[jtourlamain]

Is there a toggle to show only items in the current directory (folders and files)? Showing content of all sub-directories can produce to much info. Having a toggle to only show the current items in the directory and search for them would be great.

All sorts except sort by type do what you want https://dystroy.org/broot/tree_view/#sort:~:text=There%20are%204%20kinds%20of%20sort%3A

@usama8800 the problem with the sort is that is slow (it needs to calculate counts or dates or ... and on windows takes a second or 2, but that is to slow when navigating around). If there is a sort_by_name (which seems to be the default) but without displaying the sub directories, it would be fast and without the sub directories.

Just want to upvote the :sort_by_name suggestion. It'll be an explicit way of showing only the files and folders on the current directory. If this sounds redundant, maybe adding a :toogle_tree command to just hiding or showing the tree can be an alternative solution.

Same here. It bothers me so much I implemented it in my private fork:
main...eldad:broot:toggle_tree

It's quite a simple toggle, and I would be happy to contribute as a PR if you're open for this feature.

@eldad This seems good and I think a PR would be welcome (please make the formatting consistent in panel_state).

I'm not quite convinced by the toggle_tree name but I don't have any better one at the moment.

@Canop Thanks for the quick feedback! I'll brush up the changes, fix the formatting as you pointed out, and open a PR shortly.
