Description

Is it possible to add an option similar to oil.nvim skip_confirm_for_simple_edits where it does not need to confirm creating a new file and renaming a file?

[echasnovski]

Sorry, no: not right now and not planned. Mostly because I think it is a bad idea in long term to take away from consistency to have this kind of experience.

@echasnovski alright thanks!

In case anyone is interested with this feature, I've made a slight modification to the source. What this does is it would automatically confirm when you press = but only if one action is present and the delete action is empty.

Just add vim.g.mini_files_auto_confirm_on_simple_edits variable to your config.

H.fs_actions_confirm = function(fs_actions)
  if vim.g.mini_files_auto_confirm_on_simple_edits and vim.tbl_isempty(fs_actions.delete) then
    local count = 0
    for action, paths in pairs(fs_actions) do
      if not vim.tbl_isempty(paths) then count = count + 1 end
    end

    -- Only one action is present so just automatically confirm it
    if count == 1 then return true end
  end

  local msg = table.concat(H.fs_actions_to_lines(fs_actions), '\n')
  local confirm_res = vim.fn.confirm(msg, '&Yes\n&No', 1, 'Question')
  return confirm_res == 1
end
