When copying a file in the same folder (duplicating it) vifm asks the user if they want to rename the file (also default option) and then puts the current name in the command field where we can't use vim commands.

How can we remap this so it opens vim with the current name?

I assume you're talking about p/P.

Not much can be done from that prompt in terms of mapping. Ctrl+G should actually work in it (works in cw/cW). It's probably just an oversight that external editing wasn't enabled for this case.

Yes p/P.

Are you planing to enable external editing in the future? It would really be helpful :+1:

Yes, this will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for drawing attention to this.
