Unable to 'q'uit to the current directory

[andy5995]

When I navigate to a different directory and press 'q', 'x', or 'alt+x', it always quits to the directory I was in when I started vfu.

Perhaps your shell is not bash? For the "q" to work properly where SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh, I had to add to .zshrc:

function vfu()
  {
  /usr/local/bin/vfu $*;
  \cd "`cat /tmp/vfu.exit.$USER`";
  \rm -f /tmp/vfu.exit.$USER;
  }

Note the "" before "cd" and "rm" since most zsh implementations alias most "dangerous" commands to demand intervention which would kill the function.

Sorry. my " \" didn't make it.

Thanks for the response @LarryDC . My shell is bash.

Please excuse my obvious response: Don't you have the function vfu() set in your .bashrc? I say this because "Q" & "X" work properly for me. However I have the latest Github sources compiled statically to run on my various distros. Sorry I can't duplicate the behavior.

Thanks for the suggestion @LarryDC . I'll wait to hear from @cade-vs before I try adding extra functions to my environment. Seems more like a bug that the maintainer would want reported and fixed. For a console file manager to have the ability to exit to the current directory has been pretty standard since my days of first working with DOS back in 1991.

@cade-vs Do you think think this will be fixed before the next release?

Thanks again @LarryDC , I added the vfu function to my bashrc as you suggested and it's working now.
