Feature request (low priority): CTRL-\ (Control-Backslash) functionality improvement
At present the CTRL-\ keystroke works correctly by changing the current working directory to / (root of all file systems).
Since most of the files I work with are under ~ (my home directory), it would be great if repeated usage of CTRL-\ resulted in toggling between / (root) and ~ (home).
If so, the first destination should be / (to keep consistent with the Windows version of Far Manager which behaves in this manner).
An option in the settings called "Cyclic Roots" could also be added to support the following behaviours:
- Change directory to /
- Change directory to ~
- Toggle between / and ~ (default)
- Toggle between ~ and /
- Toggle between custom list [add a "Configure" option here]
The 5th option could just open a file called "cyclic-roots" in the built-in editor which contains a custom list of directories to cycle through in the order in which they're listed. This should just be a simple text file containing a list of paths (one per line) that begin only with / or ~ (so that ~/another/path/ could also be specified), and with any blank lines or lines beginning with # (for comments) being ignored.
That would clutter the options, which is normally bad: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/11/21/choices-headaches/
Very similar effect can be achieved by a cd command in the F2 menu.
