Creating sym-link by spf
Is your feature request related to a problem? Describe it. I always get frustrated when I have to create symbolic links in Linux (especially in Windows, when I used it, because there you have to use powershell or third-party software for this) because you have to remember where it should point and where it should be located.
Describe the solution you would like an operation similar to ctrl + c (for example ctrl + l - short for link ) selects the file or directory to which the link will be created (and somehow displayed in the clipboard), then when you press ctrl + v the link will be created where superfile is open
Describe the alternatives you considered An alternative is the recently added commands in spf, but as I said, you will have to remember and manually specify some data, although using the proposed function you can not worry about this.
Additional context
Here are some screenshots of how I imagine it
I used this 🔗(U+1F517) unicode symbol to denote a link, and this ⎘ (from here) to denote an operation, maybe this will help you
This looks good. Will try to implement this in near future.
Would love to get the feedback from the other users about what they think about this and how useful this feature could be to them?
From this discussion - https://github.com/yorukot/superfile/discussions/185#discussioncomment-14535079
It would be useful to me if I could create symlinks form within superfile.
We could implement it in this way - users can press something else then ctrl+c to copy the file in a way that on paste it will just create a symlink.
ctrl+c+s or something.
@haltriumph @Neburalis @yorukot What do yo think ?
Yep. That is basically what I had in mind. I use symlinks all the time and it would be very helpful. FWIW, yazi does have this feature.
I would like to see this feature soon too, it is so useful, also I noticed that when selecting a link file, it doesn't show in the Metadata to which file it points
