ranger-like "open with" functionality to specify which program should open a node

xplr.config.modes.builtin.default.key_bindings.on_key["o"] = {
  help = "open with",
  messages = {
    "PopMode",
    { SwitchMode = "open_with" },
    { SetInputBuffer = "" }
  }
}

xplr.config.modes.custom.open_with = {
  name = "open with",
  key_bindings = {
    on_key = {
      ["enter"] = {
        help = "submit",
        messages = {
          {
            BashExec0 = [===[
              program=${XPLR_INPUT_BUFFER:?}
              path=${XPLR_FOCUS_PATH:?}

              if ! command -v "$program" &>/dev/null; then
                "$XPLR" -m 'LogError: %q' "Program $program not found in path."
              else
                $program $path
              fi
            ]===]
          },
          "PopMode"
        }
      }
    },
    default = {
      messages = {
        "UpdateInputBufferFromKey",
      }
    }
  }
}

"Paste" functionality to move all selections into current working directory:

xplr.config.modes.builtin.default.key_bindings.on_key["p"] = {
  help = "paste selection",
  messages = {
    { CallLuaSilently = "custom.paste_to_pwd" },
    "ExplorePwdAsync",
    "PopMode"
  }
}

xplr.fn.custom.paste_to_pwd = function(app)
  if #app.selection == 0 then
    return {
      { LogError = "Selection empty." }
    }
  end

  for _, node in ipairs(app.selection) do
    local original_path = node.absolute_path
    local node_name = xplr.util.basename(original_path)
    local new_path = app.pwd .. "/" .. node_name

    local success, err = os.rename(original_path, new_path)

    if success then
      return { 
        { LogSuccess = "File(s) pasted" }
      }
    else
      return { 
        { LogError = "Failed to paste: " .. node_name .. " (" .. err .. ")" }
      }
    end
  end
end

Shell command-line to execute any bash command without leaving the file explorer. Allows to compile projects, create/edit/remove files and other shell commands on the go (useful to execute commands that don't have specific keybinds such as 'make', 'nix-shell', or even 'touch'/'mkdir', etc).

xplr.config.modes.builtin.default.key_bindings.on_key[";"] = {
  help = "shell line",
  messages = {
    "PopMode",
    { SwitchMode = "command_line" },
    { SetInputBuffer = "" },
    "ExplorePwdAsync"
  }
}

xplr.config.modes.custom.command_line = {
  name = "shell line",

  key_bindings = {
    on_key = {
      ["enter"] = {
        help = "submit",
        messages = {
          {
            BashExec0 = [===[
              ${XPLR_INPUT_BUFFER:?}  
              if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                echo
                read -p "[press enter to continue]"
              fi
            ]===]
          },
          "PopMode"
        }
      },
    },

    default = {
      messages = {
        "UpdateInputBufferFromKey"
      }
    }
  }
}
