chrisgrieser / finder-vim-mode Goto Github PK

So with the multi-select, there is quite an annoying limitation, which took me a while to figure out. Weirdly enough, Finder can select a file, multiple files, or a folder, but not multiple folders… m(

var wd = "/Users/chrisgrieser/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/File Hub/"

var folder = Path(wd + "untitled folder")
var folder = Path(wd + "untitled folder copy")
var file = Path(wd + "untitled")
var file2 = Path(wd + "untitled 2")

var finder = Application("Finder")

// works
finder.select(folder); 
finder.select(file);
finder.select([file]); 
finder.select([file, file2]);

// does not work
finder.select([folder]);
finder.select([folder, folder2]);

The docs on the JXA Path object are pretty sparse. If anyone knows how to fix this, any tips are welcome

Feature Requested

Thanks for this awesome vim mode! I'm getting used to hjkl and love it, but I keep wanting to select 3-4 files within a folder to cut/copy/paste/open them together. I used v for this at first but realized that instead shows preview information for the current file. Is there already a way to select a subset of the files after navigating to some with e.g. jk?

Bug Description

When I installed the keybindings to karabiner, my expectations were low because I didn't think the application would work properly in such an application like finder tbh 🫣, but after trying it for like 10 minutes, I said wow and that was the aha moment. It's really amazing, well designed and well applied. Thank you for that. However I think there's two things might improve the experience.

1. the keybindings image is in bad quality and hard to see, so if possible to upload higher quality image. (I can design one if you can provide me with the high quality plain one and then add it to the repo)

2. Selecting files are through shift+space or shift+arrow and this is not bad but a little bit weird because usually when selecting multiple files we do it with command and mouse click then select multiple files that not in order (if you know what I mean). I'd be grateful if possible feature can be added to the keybindings.

Thank you again for this amazing and well thought add-on.
