details
it is reasonable to assume that manual application of an --icon option with no arguments intends --icon always
in my ~/.config/lsd/config.yml i have
icons:
when: never
theme: unicode
i have many short aliases defined in my .zshrc for various modes and behaviors, none of them involving icons.
occasionally, i might want to display icons. it would be nice to simply run lsd --icon (or any of my aliases, with an icon option) to activate icon display.
i understand this feature might have been deliberately avoided due to the possibility for accidental application of following file name arguments or expanded glob values following a bare --icon option. this type of mistake is already a well-understood possibility, and the broadly accepted solution is a standard -- options-terminating sentinel.
