Open file in the upmost pane #353

Closed verificationcontractor closed 4 months ago

verificationcontractor commented 1 year ago

I have 2 panes split horizontally and if the one below is selected then clicking on a file in neotree opens it in the lower pane. I would like it to be opened in the upper pane. There should be a dedicated pane for the files. Simetimes I work in SLIME and I like my SLIME REPL to be at the bottom and not to be replaced with a file editing pane when I click on a file in neotree.

By default neotree opens the file in the most recently used window. You can try to click on the upmost pane first before clicking on a file in neotree.

You could also try installing ace-window package and using this function neo-open-file-ace-window. It should let you choose the window you open the file in. The shourtcut is a when your cursor is over a file in the neotree buffer
