[Solved][Feature Request] Options to stay focused on Tree buffer after selection

[RaZ0rr-Two]

An option to remain on the tree buffer after selecting a file would be nice. This will allow selecting multiple files easily. Would compliment the let g:nvim_tree_quit_on_open = 0 option.

Also, an alternative would be cb = tree_cb("select") } or cb = tree_cb("tag") }with which multiple files could be tagged for operation (opening, deleting) later.

what do you mean by selecting ? Could this be related to #612 ?

Sorry for the lack of clarification. By selecting, I meant opening the file with . Then the cursor jumps to opened file buffer and I have to go to the tree again to open another file if required.

Also, this was what I meant by tagging option. But I can't seem to use it with m keybinding.

@RaZ0rr-Two Not sure if I understand you exactly, but try <tab>, it opens buffer without exiting nvim-tree.

This was exactly the feature I was looking for. I was confused that it was named preview, which I thought would just show a preview like telescope or fzf preview window.

Thank you for the help.

Also, closing comment.

If possible to change, then maybe tree_cb("preview") can be changed to something like tree_cb("openbuffer") to avoid confusion
