Opening a file through vifm in a new tab or split

maxigaz commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug

When I run :FloatermNew vifm and select a file, it always opens in the current buffer. I’ve been looking for an option to open it in a new tab or a split, but I haven’t found any.

In the screencast on the project page, I can see that the first file is opened in the current (empty) buffer and the second in a new tab. I haven’t been able to reproduce this yet.

By the way, vifm.vim provides additional commands like :TabVifm and :SplitVifm, which work fine for me, but this plugin doesn’t use floating windows.

To Reproduce

Install vim-floaterm through vim-plug

Use the minimal vimrc

set nocompatible
set hidden
set termguicolors
set runtimepath^=/path/to/vim-floaterm
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

Run :FloatermNew vifm
Select any file

Sorry but this won't be supported as it only brings a lot of complexities both for implementing and usage.

Not exactly what the OP wants, but this might be of some help to some, as it permits opening a file in a new tab when in a floaterm popup:

To open each buffer in its own tabpage, add this to your vimrc: :au BufAdd,BufNewFile * nested tab sball
