Looking for the name of some internal commands

Hey,

I am looking for something similar to gv in vim. I don't know if there is sort of history for selected files or not. But I use clear and unselect at the end of most of my scripts but sometimes there is a need to do one thing on bunch of files then do something new with them. Not sure how I can select the same files again after running unselect

lf doesn't keep track of past selections, but you can manually write the selections to a file whenever it is updated and then restore them afterwards:

# update /tmp/selections.txt file whenever selection changes
map <space> :{{
    toggle
    down
    &echo "$fx" > /tmp/selections.txt
}}

# select files according to the contents of /tmp/selections.txt
map gv %{{
    lf -remote "send $id toggle $(xargs printf ' %q' < /tmp/selections.txt)"
}}

That should hopefully be a good starting point for you.

Good idea, don't know why forget about such a solution. Very cool.
