Files opening in floaterm instead of main window

[sergiza]

I'm using rifle as my file opener, i'm guessing that's what's caussing the issue.
This is in my lfrc
cmd open $set -f; rifle -p 0 $fx
set ifs "\n"

Does it work with an empty lfrc?

I tried with your lfrc and it works for me. Are you sure you're executing the open command (i.e. not edit) from lf?

Works as intended with an empty lfrc, and works as intended with everything else except those two lines (rifle).
And yea, i've tried open, edit, open with. None works.

Ok, I don't know what's wrong. For me, when running lf with -last-dir-path and -selection-path arguments (i.e. as a file selector), the selected/opened file is just written to the specified path and any action associated with open in lfrc is ignored.

Does it work if you use e.g. cat instead of rifle? Maybe try remove the set ifs part as well.

[sergiza]

set ifs "\n" has nothing to do with it from what i've tested now. It's all in the cmd open $set -f; rifle -p 0 $fx line. I don't know what you mean by using cat instead of rifle, if you give me a line of what you mean i'll test it.
I also noticed that when I "solve" the problem, it opens in a new terminal instead of opening in my current terminal. So maybe it's just hopeless.

Try with only this in the lfrc and check if it still misbehaves:

cmd open ${{
    cat $f
}}

You mean with an empty lfrc, the file gets opened in a new vim session in another terminal..?

Exactly this, I recorded a gif but it doesn't look clear enough, let me try again.

I see now..

Looks like it does the command inside of floaterm too.

That's super weird, it should do nothing except return to originating vim session with the selected file opened. No clue what's going on. I'm on a Mac with lf --version 27, NVIM v0.7.2.

How do you start Lf, just :Lf command?

[sergiza]

I'm using the default map map <leader>f :Lf<CR>.
The only thing I changed is

if exists('g:lf_command_override')
  let s:lf_command = g:lf_command_override
else
  let s:lf_command = '~/.config/lf/lf'
endif

My lf is an appimage, so I needed to change that. Latest version lf r27 and nvim v0.7.2 too. Also I'm on Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.

Could you try this branch https://github.com/ptzz/lf.vim/tree/fix-custom-lf-path? It seems the introduction of floaterm broke custom path to lf.

It fixed it! For now, it seems like everything works as intended.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
