Known issues
- fman raises
ValueErroron the firstToggle hidden filesif a pane is launched with hidden files hidden (and status bar is not updated this one time) (tip: you might be able to conveniently close the error warning window with the same keybind you toggled hidden files with) - Status bar is NOT updated when switching panes with a mouse since plugins can't notice a pane switch due to a lack of the necessary APIs
- Alignment of indicators only works for monospaced (fixed-width) fonts since it's currently implemented using regular spaces (tip: you can change this font in your
Theme.cssfile.statusbar{font-family:"yourMonospacedFont"}). And even then fancy icons/emojis might slightly break it - On launch the right pane is ignored in the status bar udpate to improve performance since fman always activates the left one (and doesn't have an API to let a plugin know which pane is the active one)
