file browser questions / wishes

[miraculixx]

I like slap for it's great appeal, configurability and language support. A few questions:

• is there a key binding to return to the start directory (i.e. the shell's pwd when slap was started)?
• when one selects a directory and then presses ctrl-n a new file is opened, when this is saved no path is offered and it is saved in the shell's pwd. that's confusing. is there a way to save new files in the filebrowser's currently active directory?
• is there a way to add a "jump to" feature for the filebrowser (e.g. enter a filename or pattern to quick-scroll to the respective file)?
• is there a way to add a pop up to display currently open files (like Ctrl-e in Eclipse)?

is there should be taken as both "does it exist?" and "what is the recommended way to do this"? I'm happy to implement myself given some hints in the right direction. thanks.

@miraculixx thanks for filing this issue. I've not had much free time so apologies for the delay.

• There is no keybinding to return to the start directory, although I would consider adding this feature.
• That might be a bug. Let me look into it.
• See Search through/filter files in file browser by typing part of the name #50 and Add Sublime Ctrl+P-like filename search #61
• That is an excellent idea. I've created Show currently open files in a new pane #251.

Does that answer your questions?

@miraculixx v0.1.59 lets you press Ctrl+L to show the current list of open panes. You can also cycle through the list to select a pane.

This should be fixed.
