far:edit

[deep-soft]

I tested last commits:
far:config
and
far:about
and they are very usefull.

Can be added other two commands for commandline:
far:edit
and
far:view
or better
edit:
and
view:
as in Far2 for Windows?

I searched in code and found references but only comments in:
far2l\src\fnparce.cpp
far2l\src\usermenu.cpp

And also can be added an option to not show panels after any valid command but after keypress?!
Like after an invalid/non existing command?!

Thank you for your great work!

Good idea. Partially done in PR #1864

[deep-soft]

PR #1864 tested and it's working!
Based on that I added short version of far commands:
edit: and view:
with some extra code
#1864 (comment)

Now realization edit: & view: not compatible with escaping by \ which use in Ctrl-Enter/Ctrl-F for filenames with spaces and all Opt.strQuotedSymbols symbols.
@deep-soft is this problem for you?
I did not find by quick search in far2l inverse function for functions EscapeSpace() & escapeSpace() from far2l/src/mix/strmix.cpp

[deep-soft]

You're right; didn't observed this because every file I create does not contain spaces. But there are some people which use spaces a lot.
Not a problem right now, F3/F4 working for this filenames with spaces in name.

[akruphi]

@deep-soft please tell me why using commands edit: or view: is preferable to you than using keys F4 and F3. If I understand you really usecase I can make special command more consciously.

next step is using as in Far2 for Windows
edit:<ls -lR
or
edit:<fd | as-tree

I mean redirect command execution directly to Editor.

I don't know how in far2l grab stdout only from last command. This question only for @elfmz.

Now in far2l you can do command, then toggle off panels by Ctrl+O and obtain all terminal output in Editor by F4 or Viewer by F3. Also before command you can without panels do F8 to clear terminal output.

[deep-soft]

It's pretty complex; Far3 have this plugin, FarCmds, which defines far:view (view:), far:edit (edit:), ..., OS commands including redirection of outputs (StdOut and StdErr) to far editor.

This feature (redirect from stdout) is working now!

Yes I know that (using Far from year 2000, and Far2l ~2years) and are some other methods to redirect stdout and stderr to file and after that open in far2l (via far2l /e or far2l /v) but the method used in Windows is more useful in some cases (needs less typing).

Thank you, @akruphi, and @elfmz for implementing this far commands (about, config, edit and view).
