Extract/Compress and/or Mount/Unmount features #196

Open mastikaci opened 1 year ago

İt would be very nice if there were als some keybindings available to extract/compress archives and mount/unmount USB drives. These 2 functionalities are used very often in a file manager and would be a big benefit according to my humble opinion.

Hi! In my fork of fff I added a functionality to open with command that can open with (figures) multiple files at one time. For example you could press o then input this command when multiple files are selected tar -cvf archive.tar and after this press z to refresh the directory, and now you have a tared archive, which then you could untar by moving cursor on it, pressing o and inputting tar -xvf archive.tar which will then untar it. Sounds complicated, but is really simple and intuitive (I guess). You could also use something like atool to shorten commands (make this apack archive.tar and aunpack).
