Drop the plugin in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nnn/plugins` and make it executable. Optionally add a hotkey in `$NNN_PLUG` for frequent usage.
#### Controlling `nnn`'s active directory
`nnn` provides a mechanism for plugins to control its active directory.
#### Send data to `nnn`
`nnn` provides a mechanism for plugins to send data to `nnn` to control its active directory or invoke the list mode.
The way to do so is by writing to the pipe pointed by the environment variable `NNN_PIPE`.
The plugin should write a single string in the format `<context number><char><path>` without a newline at the end. For example, `1c/etc`.
The context number indicates the context to change the active directory of (0 is used to indicate the current context).
The `<char>` indicates the operation type.
The plugin should write a single string in the format `<ctxcode><opcode><data>` without a newline at the end. For example, `1c/etc`.
: Char : Operation :
The `ctxcode` indicates the context to change the active directory of.
| Context code | Meaning |
|:---:| --- |
| c | cd |
| l | list files in list mode |
| `1`-`4` | context number |
| `0` | current context |
| `+` | next inactive context or current (if all active) |
The `opcode` indicates the operation type.
| Opcode | Operation |
|:---:| --- |
| `c` | change directory |
| `l` | list files in list mode |
For convenience, we provided a helper script named `.nnn-plugin-helper` and a function named `nnn_cd` to ease this process. `nnn_cd` receives the path to change to as the first argument, and the context as an optional second argument.
If a context is not provided, it is asked for explicitly. To skip this and choose the current context, set the `CUR_CTX` variable in `.nnn-plugin-helper` to `1`.
