Background

[✓] I have checked ytfzf(1) and ytfzf(5) or the wiki before creating this.

Problem

Why do we need this feature?
In order to be able to comfortably view comments under the currently playing video.

Feature

Description of your proposed feature.
Search, select a video and view the comments of the selected video, rather than ytfzf -c comments link-to-video.

Alternative solutions to problem?

None


Is this already possible or am I missing something?
Is this already possible when scraping youtube,comments and maybe switching to a scraper if that is possible?

It would be possible to make it so you can press alt-c but I am currently working on other things.

I tried adding in the aformentioned alt-c shortcut, however I felt that it was messy, so I created this extension . Basically just put it in a file called ~/.config/ytfzf/extensions/comments, run ytfzf -e comments, and if you have another ytfzf open that's playing a video it'll automatically detect it and open the comments for that video.

It's entirely possible to make the extension a standalone script, however I felt lazy, and it was easier to do it this way.
