Suggestion

[ProxyPlay]

Please add the ability to open preview pictures in an external program, for example on F3, as it is done in fman, it would also be cool to separate open path Alt+L, and run or search for commands, for example Alt+Shift+L, for example in fman it is Ctrl+P go to folder and Ctrl+Shift+P run command. It's also a little annoying if you specify a path and the last path is correct, you still need to press the down key and then enter, you spend a lot of time on it. It would also be cool to add the ability to unpack zip, rar archives by hotkey, for example, in the same folder with the same archive name. In general, I'm glad that there is a cool analog of fman because it hasn't been updated for a long time, it would be cool if the authors added fman plugins to brows.

I forgot to add that it would be cool to open a folder just by typing the name, for example

Thanks for the interest in the project. A couple of these goals might be attainable with some modification to your config.

Opening pictures in an external program can be done by editing filesystem.conf. In your install directory, there's a directory called brows.config (you can navigate there directly with the config command in Brows). Copy brows.config/default/filesystem.conf.default to brows.config/filesystem.conf and open it in an editor. You'll see a line that says Editor[.jpg|.jpeg|.png] = paintdotnet.exe. This is an example of how to set the default editor for a file type. Uncomment this line and edit it to point to your program of choice. You should then be able to open image files with that program with the shortcut CTRL+E (the edit command).

You can change the shortcut for the edit command by moving brows.config/default/trigger.conf.default to brows.config/trigger.conf and editing the key combination in the line that starts with cmd[FileSystem_Edit].press. While you're there, you can add a shortcut for the command cmd[FileSystem_Zip]. That should let you decompress ZIP archives with a keystroke. RAR archives aren't yet supported.

I like the idea of separating commands and paths depending on the keys used to launch the command palette. Could you separate this and your other suggestings into different issues so I can track them better? I'm not familiar with fman, so you'll have to explain the exact behavior you're looking for.

I tried to add a hotkey config for unpacking zip archives to Ctrl+E. By default, if the file has a .zip extension, is it unzipped? I saved the trigger.conf file and tried to bind it with Ctrl+E or Ctrl+Shift+E, but I failed, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
cmd[FileSystem_Zip] .press[CTRL+E] = zip
It would also be cool if the program indexed folders on the disk so that you could quickly open the go to folder when you start the program. For example, make a list of folders in a txt file in the temp folder or in the program folder with the exception of folders such as Windows subfolders of programs, etc. Every time I open the program, it loads a list of folders among which you need to find what you need. It would be cool to implement it like in the Everything program, so that it sorts links to folders by the number of launches. The more launches, the higher the folder is in the hierarchy.

It would also be cool to add a hotkey to quickly copy the absolute path to the file, for example F11 - copy path, and also open a folder in the standard windows explorer with a hotkey, for example F10.

A lot of cool things can be borrowed from the fman program, it is more user-friendly here https://fman.io/ ,but the program has not been updated for a long time.

The list of hotkeys can be found here: https://fman.io/docs/shortcuts

See #2 for one of your suggestions that I'm working on. I'll address the others as I have time.

Keep in mind that you can bookmark directories with CTRL+D and open them later by typing their name. That may get you closer to the behavior you're looking for related to fman's caching functionality.

That's cool dude, thanks, I'll be looking forward to the new functionality, it would also be cool to add the ability to open the context menu like in the standard file explorer. The functionality here is not great yet, maybe in the future I will completely switch to this file manager. Thank you for adding new features.
