I have been using this file manager for a few days now and I like it so much that I have been using it exclusively over my GUI file manager and also in vim. But there is one behaviour that doesn't seem right.

I have tried the fzcd plugin, but that takes you to the directory where the file is located, and if there are a lot of files, it would require a second search to get to the file. This seems like unnecessary double work. Is there a way to search for a file using fzf or something similar and jump straight to the file instead of the directory where the file is located ?

I have also tried fzopen but this opens the file directly. I don't always want to open the file. So, this is also not a solution.

It's a very good improvement without losing any functionality.
Please confirm the modified fzcd plugin works.

@jarun, thanks for this. It works! Just one last question, if you don't mind: is it possible to disable the page that pops up with the message "Choose context 1-4 (blank for current):" and just go straight to the file in the same context?

You can override CUR_CTX in the plugins. So add the following in fzcd in the next line after .nnn-plugin-helper is sourced.

CUR_CTX=1

All of this is documented: https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/plugins#send-data-to-nnn

Please read the documentation to save our time.

Thanks once more. I have actually gone through the documentation, but because of the wealth of information, you don't get to remember every little detail. But given that this has become my goto file manager, I will take the time to peruse the documentation more closely.
