I want to know where the symbolic links point to.
Pressing Ctrl+G would show the destination path, but I would like to either:

  1. show it at the right pane (when typing :view),
    or
  2. show it at the statusline.

What I tried (unsucessfully):
at vifmrc:
set statusline=" %F"
set statusline=" %[ -> %X%]"
fileviewer *.symlink readlink -f %f

Best answer
set statusline=" %F"
set statusline=" %[ -> %X%]"

Why these macros? Look at the documentation on 'statusline', it's %t and %T:

set statusline="%t%[ -> %T%]"

Thank you so much xaizek! <3 You are incredible!

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.
