Please is there a way to control VIFM by sending key-bindings to an already active instance? Something like echo j >.. /some/fifo => vifm moves cursor down. Thank you.

Won't work with every key, but --remote + :normal can do this:

vifm --server-name vifm3 --remote +'normal j'

Thank you, this is neat. In the end though I will need to resort to tmux send as this does not send return key after :!!command finishes execution.

If you would like to make a bug report or feature request consider using GitHub, SourceForge or e-mail. Posting such things here is acceptable, but this is not a perfect place for them.
