First, I just want to thank you for adding mtp support in the media plugin. With mtp support vifm imo is now a complete file broswer. Thanks a lot <3

That said, is there a way to detect whether there is a window present at a given direction? I am trying to write a plugin that will work similar to how vim-tmux-navigator works. Maybe this behavior can be integrated in the screens mode?

Nice to hear it's useful. Do post comments like "I want this done" on issues you're interested in to draw attention to them (reactions don't count, because they don't generate notifications). Otherwise they might be effectively ignored until something similar pops up in a discussion.

Have you seen https://wiki.vifm.info/index.php/How_to_integrate_window_navigation_with_tmux?

Hey just wanted to thank you again for the absolute gem vifm. After replacing the gtk xdg-desktop-portal with xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser and an updated vifm wapper script, I realized how absolute beast vifm can be. There is almost no need for another file manager say gui or not. This is a complete package.

Thanks, I think xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser was mentioned somewhere, but I still haven't tried it (not using portals at all). Should give it a try at least to see what apps it affects because using Vifm as a file chooser does come up from time to time and this probably worth describing somewhere on the Wiki.

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.
