Feature: external command executes in the background

[igr]

I use broot as left panel with zellij. When I want to "open" a file, a external shell command is executed, and broor briefly flickers (to show the command execution).

It would be great if commands executes in the background, without showing result and removing the current tree.

See the switch_terminal option.

It works for me.:

{
    invocation: edit
    shortcut: e
    key: ctrl-e
    apply_to: text_file
    external: [ "fish", "-c", "kakz_send editor edit-with-focus {file}"]
    leave_broot: false
    switch_terminal: false
}

function kakz_send
    set -l identifier (zellij_get_session_and_tab_id)
    if contains $identifier (kak -l)
        echo eval -client $argv[1] %\{ $argv[2..-1] \} | kak -p $identifier
    else
        zellij action new-pane -c -- fish -c 'kakz -e $argv[1]' "eval %{ $argv[2..-1] }" > /dev/null
    end
end
