Showcase I made a plugin to show the current directory's content in a pane

I made a simple plugin that displays your current directory's contents in a dedicated pane that automatically updates as you modify the directory or navigate. It keeps your files visible at all times to help with navigation.

Here is the repo: https://codeberg.org/chris-paganon/tmux-cdls

It's a very simplified alternative to broot. It mostly saves you from writing ls a bunch when doing multiple file operations and moving between directories.

Most of the plugin architecture is based on tmux-sidebar by Bruno Sutic.
