}
Expand description

Definition of how the user input should be interpreted to be executed in an external command.

Fields§

§exec_pattern: ExecPattern

the pattern which will result in an executable string when completed with the args. This pattern may include names coming from the invocation pattern (like {my-arg}) and special names automatically filled by broot from the selection and application state:

  • {file}
  • {directory}
  • {parent}
  • {other-panel-file}
  • {other-panel-directory}
  • {other-panel-parent}
§exec_mode: ExternalExecutionMode

how the external process must be launched

§working_dir: Option<String>

the working directory of the new process, or none if we don’t want to set it
