This supports using a power of 2 number of contexts like 2, 4 or 8.
Note that the number of contexts are not backward compatible. So if
user is having 8 contexts and plans to use 4, his sessions with > 1
contexts open may break.
We can have a make option to enable 8 contexts. 4 remains default.
It's a little annoying that one has to press ^L followed by Esc to go back
to the normal view. We cannot reload the directory on Esc because that will
break the filter filtered view feature. So we take this route.
* Add -a option to generate a temporary NNN_FIFO
* Add documentation for -a option
* plugins/README.md: promote the use of -a
This obsoletes the global FIFO unlink trick, so I remove mentions of it.
@jarun update:
Polish -a
* Allow launching plugins with Alt + plugin's key
* Fix Alt key in filter/prompts modes
* Fix handling Alt key in nextsel()
In filter mode: run the associated plugin.
In prompt mode: just throw out the Alt+key input.
In nextsel(): differentiate Alt+key and Esc
* Add an option to print hovered files to a FIFO
This adds an env variable, `NNN_FIFO`, that can be set to a path that
`nnn` will open/create as a FIFO, and where every hovered file's path is
printed. This allows creating external perview/quick open plugins, ...
It can be compiled out with the make variable `O_NOFIFO`.
* Check filename ptr instead of full path (for FIFO)
* Add documentation to use NNN_FIFO in plugins
* Fix path sent to FIFO in empty dirs
