I'm not sure as I've never used broot before. How might you suggest I accomplish this?

So actually I think I could implement this if createWin and setMappings were public.

broot has --outcmd which is similar to what you use with the other file managers, although it outputs a whole command, not just the filename of the selected file/dir. So I would need a custom on_close to parse that somehow

The most recent commit should have done this.

For future reference, you could also clone the repo and include it in your list of plugins. The following should work assuming you use packer...

$ git clone https://github.com/is0n/fm-nvim ~/fm-nvim

use {'~/fm-nvim'}

With that, you wouldn't need to have those functions be public.

Hope this helps! 😄

After some tinkering around, I've found one possible way of supporting broot.

It's by using...

$ broot --out /tmp/fm-nvim

Using the following will use /tmp/fm-nvim as a temp file. The only problem is that if you now want to open a file, you have to select it and do :print_path in broot. Do you know how we can map Return/Enter to :print_path in broot? I imagine it's by using --conf.

The following resources may help...

• vim-floaterm
• broot.vim
• docs

If you would like to try it out, use the following in neovim...

:lua require('fm-nvim').createWin("broot --out /tmp/fm-nvim")

and then type...

:print_path

in broot once you have selected a file.

Latest commit fixes the issue. LMK if there's anything that's missing or that is buggy :)
