Describe the question

First! Loving Yazi. Thanks for this great tool.

I've written my custom linemode and am using ,+ to change the sort order regularly. This however resets the Linemode and I cannot seem to get back to my own custom one.

Is there a way to prevent resetting that Linemode while changing the sort order?

Anything else?

You can run two commands for one keymap. I use following

[mgr]
prepend_keymap = [
  { on = [",", "n"], run = ["sort natural --reverse=no", "linemode size_and_mtime"], desc = "Sort naturally" },
  ...
]

Thanks! This looks like exactly what I need. Let me test this out tonight.

Worked like a charm!

my toml:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = "<Enter>"
run = "enter"
desc = "Enter the hovered directory"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on   = "!"
for  = "unix"
run  = 'shell "$SHELL" --block'
desc = "Open $SHELL here"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "n"]
run = ["sort natural --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort naturally"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "N"]
run = ["sort natural --reverse=yes", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort naturally (reverse)"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "b"]
run = ["sort btime --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by birthtime"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "B"]
run = ["sort btime --reverse=yes", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by birthtime (reverse)"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "m"]
run = ["sort mtime --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by modified time"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "M"]
run = ["sort mtime --reverse=yes", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by modified time (reverse)"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "a"]
run = ["sort alphabetical --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort alphabetically"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "A"]
run = ["sort alphabetical --reverse=yes", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort alphabetically (reverse)"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "r"]
run = ["sort random --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort randomly"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "e"]
run = ["sort extension --reverse=no", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by extension"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [",", "E"]
run = ["sort extension --reverse=yes", "linemode custom_linemode"]
desc = "Sort by extension (reverse)"
