Trying to jump multiple items at a time.

I am trying to use this , but everytime I hit J or K it jumps into terminal and comes back, is there a way to stop that?

The code:

map J go6down
map K go6up

cmd go6down ${{
  lf -remote "send $id down" 
  lf -remote "send $id down" 
  lf -remote "send $id down"
  lf -remote "send $id down"
  lf -remote "send $id down"
  lf -remote "send $id down"
}}

cmd go6up ${{
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
  lf -remote "send $id up" 
}}

$ commands are synchronous, which means it suspends the UI and shows the shell command execution until it finishes. If you don't want that then you can use % or &, which runs the shell command asynchronously in background (% reads from and writes to the bottom statline).

That being said, you probably don't need to use lf -remote here - you can just use push to simulate key presses, which is probably a lot cleaner.

map J push 6j
map K push 6k

Thanks you very much. Really enjoying to learn about lf. One of the best programs ever.
