COMMANDS
This section shows information about builtin commands. Modal commands do
not take any arguments, but instead change the operation mode to read
their input conveniently, and so they are meant to be assigned to
keybindings.
quit (default q)
Quit lf and return to the shell.
up (default k and <up>), half-up (default <c-u>), page-up (default <c-b> and <pgup>), scroll-up (default <c-y>), down (default j and <down>), half-down (default <c-d>), page-down (default <c-f> and <pgdn>), scroll-down (default <c-e>)
Move/scroll the current file selection upwards/downwards by one/half a
page/full page.
updir (default h and <left>)
Change the current working directory to the parent directory.
open (default l and <right>)
If the current file is a directory, then change the current directory to
it, otherwise, execute the open command. A default open command is
provided to call the default system opener asynchronously with the
current file as the argument. A custom open command can be defined to
override this default.
jump-next (default ]), jump-prev (default [)
Change the current working directory to the next/previous jumplist item.
top (default gg and <home>), bottom (default G and <end>)
Move the current file selection to the top/bottom of the directory. A
count can be specified to move to a specific line, for example use 3G to
move to the third line.
high (default H), middle (default M), low (default L)
Move the current file selection to the high/middle/low of the screen.
toggle
Toggle the selection of the current file or files given as arguments.
invert (default v)
Reverse the selection of all files in the current directory (i.e. toggle
all files). Selections in other directories are not effected by this
command. You can define a new command to select all files in the
directory by combining invert with unselect (i.e.
cmd select-all :unselect; invert), though this will also remove
selections in other directories.
invert-below
Reverse the selection (i.e. toggle) of all files at or after the current
file in the current directory.
To select a contiguous block of files, use this command on the first
file you want to select. Then, move down to the first file you do _not_
want to select (the one after the end of the desired selection) and use
this command again. This achieves an effect similar to the visual mode
in vim.
This command is experimental and may be removed once a better
replacement for the visual mode is implemented in lf. If you'd like to
experiment with using this command, you should bind it to a key (e.g. V)
for a better experience.
unselect (default u)
Remove the selection of all files in all directories.
glob-select, glob-unselect
Select/unselect files that match the given glob.
calcdirsize
Calculate the total size for each of the selected directories. Option
info should include size and option dircounts should be disabled to show
this size. If the total size of a directory is not calculated, it will
be shown as -.
clearmaps
Remove all keybindings associated with the map command. This command can
be used in the config file to remove the default keybindings. For safety
purposes, : is left mapped to the read command, and cmap keybindings are
retained so that it is still possible to exit lf using :quit.
copy (default y)
If there are no selections, save the path of the current file to the
copy buffer, otherwise, copy the paths of selected files.
cut (default d)
If there are no selections, save the path of the current file to the cut
buffer, otherwise, copy the paths of selected files.
paste (default p)
Copy/Move files in copy/cut buffer to the current working directory. A
custom paste command can be defined to override this default.
clear (default c)
Clear file paths in copy/cut buffer.
sync
Synchronize copied/cut files with server. This command is automatically
called when required.
draw
Draw the screen. This command is automatically called when required.
redraw (default <c-l>)
Synchronize the terminal and redraw the screen.
load
Load modified files and directories. This command is automatically
called when required.
reload (default <c-r>)
Flush the cache and reload all files and directories.
echo
Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom.
echomsg
Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom and also to the
log file.
echoerr
Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom as errorfmt and
also to the log file.
cd
Change the working directory to the given argument.
select
Change the current file selection to the given argument.
delete (modal)
Remove the current file or selected file(s). A custom delete command can
be defined to override this default.
rename (modal) (default r)
Rename the current file using the builtin method. A custom rename
command can be defined to override this default.
source
Read the configuration file given in the argument.
push
Simulate key pushes given in the argument.
read (modal) (default :)
Read a command to evaluate.
shell (modal) (default $)
Read a shell command to execute.
shell-pipe (modal) (default %)
Read a shell command to execute piping its standard I/O to the bottom
statline.
shell-wait (modal) (default !)
Read a shell command to execute and wait for a key press in the end.
shell-async (modal) (default &)
Read a shell command to execute asynchronously without standard I/O.
find (modal) (default f), find-back (modal) (default F), find-next (default ;), find-prev (default ,)
Read key(s) to find the appropriate file name match in the
forward/backward direction and jump to the next/previous match.
search (default /), search-back (default ?), search-next (default n), search-prev (default N)
Read a pattern to search for a file name match in the forward/backward
direction and jump to the next/previous match.
filter (modal), setfilter
Command filter reads a pattern to filter out and only view files
matching the pattern. Command setfilter does the same but uses an
argument to set the filter immediately. You can supply an argument to
filter, in order to use that as the starting prompt.
mark-save (modal) (default m)
Save the current directory as a bookmark assigned to the given key.
mark-load (modal) (default ')
Change the current directory to the bookmark assigned to the given key.
A special bookmark ' holds the previous directory after a mark-load, cd,
or select command.
mark-remove (modal) (default ")
Remove a bookmark assigned to the given key.
tag
Tag a file with * or a single width character given in the argument. You
can define a new tag clearing command by combining tag with tag-toggle
(i.e. cmd tag-clear :tag; tag-toggle).
tag-toggle (default t)
Tag a file with * or a single width character given in the argument if
the file is untagged, otherwise remove the tag.
COMMAND LINE COMMANDS
The prompt character specifies which of the several command-line modes
you are in. For example, the read command takes you to the : mode.
When the cursor is at the first character in : mode, pressing one of the
keys !, $, %, or & takes you to the corresponding mode. You can go back
with cmd-delete-back (<backspace> by default).
The command line commands should be mostly compatible with readline
keybindings. A character refers to a unicode code point, a word consists
of letters and digits, and a unix word consists of any non-blank
characters.
cmd-escape (default <esc>)
Quit command line mode and return to normal mode.
cmd-complete (default <tab>)
Autocomplete the current word.
cmd-menu-complete, cmd-menu-complete-back
Autocomplete the current word with menu selection. You need to assign
keys to these commands (e.g.
cmap <tab> cmd-menu-complete; cmap <backtab> cmd-menu-complete-back).
You can use the assigned keys assigned to display the menu and then
cycle through completion options.
cmd-menu-accept
Accept the currently selected match in menu completion and close the
menu.
cmd-enter (default <c-j> and <enter>)
Execute the current line.
cmd-interrupt (default <c-c>)
Interrupt the current shell-pipe command and return to the normal mode.
cmd-history-next (default <c-n> and <down>), cmd-history-prev (default <c-p> and <up>)
Go to next/previous item in the history.
cmd-left (default <c-b> and <left>), cmd-right (default <c-f> and <right>)
Move the cursor to the left/right.

Move the cursor to the beginning/end of line.
cmd-delete (default <c-d> and <delete>)
Delete the next character.
cmd-delete-back (default <backspace> and <backspace2>)

cmd-delete-unix-word (default <c-w>)
Delete the previous unix word.
cmd-yank (default <c-y>)
Paste the buffer content containing the last deleted item.
cmd-transpose (default <c-t>), cmd-transpose-word (default <a-t>)
Transpose the positions of last two characters/words.
cmd-word (default <a-f>), cmd-word-back (default <a-b>)

cmd-delete-word (default <a-d>)
Delete the next word in forward direction.
cmd-delete-word-back (default <a-backspace> and <a-backspace2>)
Delete the previous word in backward direction.
cmd-capitalize-word (default <a-c>), cmd-uppercase-word (default <a-u>), cmd-lowercase-word (default <a-l>)
Capitalize/uppercase/lowercase the current word and jump to the next
word.
OPTIONS
This section shows information about options to customize the behavior.
Character : is used as the separator for list options []int and
[]string.
anchorfind (bool) (default true)
When this option is enabled, find command starts matching patterns from
the beginning of file names, otherwise, it can match at an arbitrary
position.
autoquit (bool) (default false)
Automatically quit server when there are no clients left connected.
borderfmt (string) (default \033[0m)
Format string of the box drawing characters enabled by the drawbox
option.
cleaner (string) (default ``) (not called if empty)
Set the path of a cleaner file. The file should be executable. This file
is called if previewing is enabled, the previewer is set, and the
previously selected file had its preview cache disabled. The following
arguments are passed to the file, (1) current file name, (2) width, (3)
height, (4) horizontal position, (5) vertical position of preview pane
and (6) next file name to be previewed respectively. Preview cleaning is
disabled when the value of this option is left empty.
cursoractivefmt (string) (default \033[7m), cursorparentfmt string (default \033[7m), cursorpreviewfmt string (default \033[4m)
Format strings for highlighting the cursor. cursoractivefmt applies in
the current directory pane, cursorparentfmt applies in panes that show
parents of the current directory, and cursorpreviewfmt applies in panes
that preview directories.
The default is to make the active cursor and the parent directory cursor
inverted. The preview cursor is underlined.
Some other possibilities to consider for the preview or parent cursors:
an empty string for no cursor, \033[7;2m for dimmed inverted text
(visibility varies by terminal), \033[7;90m for inverted text with grey
(aka "brightblack") background.
If the format string contains the characters %s, it is interpreted as a
format string for fmt.Sprintf. Such a string should end with the
terminal reset sequence. For example, \033[4m%s\033[0m has the same
effect as \033[4m.
dircache (bool) (default true)
Cache directory contents.
dircounts (bool) (default false)
When this option is enabled, directory sizes show the number of items
inside instead of the total size of the directory, which needs to be
calculated for each directory using calcdirsize. This information needs
to be calculated by reading the directory and counting the items inside.
Therefore, this option is disabled by default for performance reasons.
This option only has an effect when info has a size field and the pane
is wide enough to show the information. 999 items are counted per
directory at most, and bigger directories are shown as 999+.
dirfirst (bool) (default true)
Show directories first above regular files.
dironly (bool) (default false)
Show only directories.
dirpreviews (bool) (default false)
If enabled, directories will also be passed to the previewer script.
This allows custom previews for directories.
drawbox (bool) (default false)
Draw boxes around panes with box drawing characters.
dupfilefmt (string) (default %f.~%n~)
Format string of file name when creating duplicate files. With the
default format, copying a file abc.txt to the same directory will result
in a duplicate file called abc.txt.~1~. Special expansions are provided,
%f as the file name, %b for basename (file name without extension), %e
as the extension (including the dot) and %n as the number of duplicates.
errorfmt (string) (default \033[7;31;47m)
Format string of error messages shown in the bottom message line.
If the format string contains the characters %s, it is interpreted as a
format string for fmt.Sprintf. Such a string should end with the
terminal reset sequence. For example, \033[4m%s\033[0m has the same
effect as \033[4m.
filesep (string) (default \n)
File separator used in environment variables fs and fx.
findlen (int) (default 1)
Number of characters prompted for the find command. When this value is
set to 0, find command prompts until there is only a single match left.
globsearch (bool) (default false)
When this option is enabled, search command patterns are considered as
globs, otherwise they are literals. With globbing, * matches any
sequence, ? matches any character, and [...] or [^...] matches character
sets or ranges. Otherwise, these characters are interpreted as they are.
hidden (bool) (default false)
Show hidden files. On Unix systems, hidden files are determined by the
value of hiddenfiles. On Windows, only files with hidden attributes are
considered hidden files.
hiddenfiles ([]string) (default .*)
List of hidden file glob patterns. Patterns can be given as relative or
absolute paths. Globbing supports the usual special characters, * to
match any sequence, ? to match any character, and [...] or [^...] to
match character sets or ranges. In addition, if a pattern starts with !,
then its matches are excluded from hidden files. To add multiple
patterns, use : as a separator. Example: .*:lost+found:*.bak
history (bool) (default true)
Save command history.
icons (bool) (default false)
Show icons before each item in the list.
ifs (string) (default ``)
Sets IFS variable in shell commands. It works by adding the assignment
to the beginning of the command string as IFS=...; .... The reason is
that IFS variable is not inherited by the shell for security reasons.
This method assumes a POSIX shell syntax and so it can fail for
non-POSIX shells. This option has no effect when the value is left
empty. This option does not have any effect on Windows.
ignorecase (bool) (default true)
Ignore case in sorting and search patterns.
ignoredia (bool) (default true)
Ignore diacritics in sorting and search patterns.
incsearch (bool) (default false)
Jump to the first match after each keystroke during searching.
incfilter (bool) (default false)
Apply filter pattern after each keystroke during filtering.
info ([]string) (default ``)
List of information shown for directory items at the right side of pane.
Currently supported information types are size, time, atime, and ctime.
Information is only shown when the pane width is more than twice the
width of information.
infotimefmtnew (string) (default Jan _2 15:04)
Format string of the file time shown in the info column when it matches
this year.
infotimefmtold (string) (default Jan _2 2006)
Format string of the file time shown in the info column when it doesn't
match this year.
mouse (bool) (default false)
Send mouse events as input.
number (bool) (default false)
Show the position number for directory items at the left side of pane.
When relativenumber option is enabled, only the current line shows the
absolute position and relative positions are shown for the rest.
numberfmt (string) (default \033[33m)
Format string of the position number for each line.
period (int) (default 0)
Set the interval in seconds for periodic checks of directory updates.
This works by periodically calling the load command. Note that
directories are already updated automatically in many cases. This option
can be useful when there is an external process changing the displayed
directory and you are not doing anything in lf. Periodic checks are
disabled when the value of this option is set to zero.
