The "-reveal" option should have more priority than cursor restorement or add a way to force it

[bluz71]

Hello,

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• Open (Neo)vim in fern.vim repository

• Start fern with :Fern . -drawer -toggle

• Open tree autoload/fern/comparator (with l keys by default) and then open default.vim file

• Navigate back to fern and close autoload/fern/comparator tree (with h keys by default). Note, close all subtrees as well.

• Close fern with :Fern . -drawer -toggle

• Reveal current default.vim file, this should work fine

• Again close the tree autoload/fern/comparator, including subtrees

• Close fern again with :Fern . -drawer -toggle

• Reveal current default.vim file, this will not reveal the file in tree.

The expectation is that reveal should always reveal the file.

Best regards.

Note: This is what the issue author also expects in #136

For now, it's correct behavior. So this is a kind feature request.
I'll think about it as

• Add a way to forcedly apply reveal
• Add a way to restore cursor and reveal applied always
• else

Add a way to forcedly apply reveal

Yes, this is what I would consider reveal should be. It ideally should force since it is an explicit action to display the file revealed in the project tree. Sometimes revealing and sometimes is confusing.

I recommend that file reveal should actually be force reveal.

@bluz71 @nickjj Fixed. Please check #170.

Two thumbs up. Just tested. Looks good to me. Reveal works great.

Many thanks.
