proposition for improving message : 1 file inserted

Question

VIFM version 0.14.3

Hello,

After yanking a file with yy I have the message : 1 file yanked

Then I move in another directory and I copy it with p or move it with P - in both cases the message is : 1 file inserted

what about this little modification

for copying with p let the message as is: 1 file inserted

and for moving with P change the message to: 1 file moved

Thank you for your time and appreciate your feedback

Answer 1

Hi,

makes sense, but there should be more kinds of messages:

• ... copied
• ... moved
• ... linked (abs)
• ... linked (rel)

I must have used inserted as a generalization of all of the above.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Comments

most of time I use f5 for copy and f6 for move

with the mapping in vifmrc

nnoremap <f5> :copy<cr>
nnoremap <f6> :move<cr>

then I have the message:

1 file successfully processed

your smart answer

• ... copied
• ... moved
• ... linked (abs)
• ... linked (rel)

make sense for the newbie

Answer 2

I have noticed the same issue. When I yank a file and then later use the p or the P key (see :help vifm-p), I am often a bit unsure if I hit the correct key, because the same message is displayed: 1 file inserted.
