The operation only works on the n and p bindings and not arrow keys.

The preview only works when using the default n and p bindings (or j and k if using evil mode with evil-want-integration set to t) but not when using the arrow keys.

One other issue with this is, one gets a preview when using the n and p, then using the arrow keys to go to a different file and visit a file, the preview will not get closed.

Emacs version 28.2

Sorry, I just noticed a closed issue also related to the arrow keys, but I will leave this one open as it mentions the preview not getting closed issue too.

Hello @ronniedroid! This should now be fixed. Though note that I am actively developing the package. Things remain in a state of flux, but I am hopeful that we are not far away from a stable core.

The first stable version of the package is available: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2023-07-08-emacs-dired-preview-0-1-0/. This can be closed now.

Can this be reopened? I'm experiencing this same issue on my configuration. I have Evil mode enabled with evil-want-integration set to t as well, and only 'j' and 'k' are updating the preview buffer. If I try to use the arrow keys, the preview buffer does not update.

The configuration I'm experiencing this issue in is available here.

I'm using GNU Emacs 29.1.

Thanks for your amazing work!

EDIT to above: dired-preview branch was merged into main.

[protesilaos]

Hello @Nekosis! I missed this issue. Can you check if this works on your end? We have the dired-preview-trigger-commands, so we can add Evil's commands there, if needed.
