Being able jump back/forth between the directories like vim-jump.

[rickgrammer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
User should be able to hop back and forth between the directories similar to how the vim-jumps work. Just replacing the jump-marks with directory paths.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it'd be intuitive to press <C-o> to hop to a parent directory, <C-i> to hop into the directory you came from.
Just imagine vim-jumps but jumping directories.

@fdschmidt93 Is there a way to make showing hidden files default?

[fdschmidt93]

require("telescope").setup {
  extensions = {
    file_browser = {
      hidden = true
    },
  },
}

C-i

Side comment: most terminal emulators interpret C-i as tab for historical reasons. Just try it in insert mode -- chances are it produces a tab.

Just replacing the jump-marks with directory paths.

We really shouldn't hook into jumplist here -- more complex and interferes with neovim otherwise. But I guess that's not necessarily what you meant.

I think it'd be intuitive to press to hop to a parent directory

This already exists and is mapped by default to C-g in insert mode and g in normal mode. You can access the action via require 'telescope'.extensions.file_browser.actions.goto_parent_dir and remap as per README of file browser or telescope (above setup -> extensions -> file_browser -> mappings in lua table structure).

hop into the directory you came from

The request feature should be relatively simple to implement. Would you be happy to take a crack at this?

@fdschmidt93 Not so well-versed with lua. I'll update this thread probably in the next 2 weeks if I did work on it.

[fdschmidt93]

No harm in keeping this open. Mid July I should have more time again and it should be relatively straightforward for me to do.

I just want the directory i came from to be selected and not . when I jump up a directory. Is this related to this issue? It would probably solve it in a more visible way.
This is bugging me a lot and if you guys don't have any time doing this I might give it a try. Would need some help in pointing in the right direction I guess.

Related, but not quite the same. What you are looking for is being worked on though.

require("telescope").setup {
  extensions = {
    file_browser = {
      hidden = true
    },
  },
}

Sorry for unrelated bump but this didn't help me. And Telescope, Oil.nvim and netrw see such folders without problems.

@iHeadway try <C-h>/h to toggle hidden files and see if that does anything. probably want to open a new issue with steps to reproduce using a minimal config if you're still experiencing issues.

@fdschmidt93 I'd like to take a stab at this. I have no Lua experience, but if you give me a rough idea, I could create a prototype that I can test locally.
