cd on quit

[praveenivp]

I want to cd to the current directory when i quit nnn. I just added NNN_TMPFILE to my .bashrc. The file indeed has the cd command I want to run. How do I trigger it automatically. Should I have to launch nnn with some flags?

my .bashrc

# nnn config
export NNN_TMPFILE='/tmp/.lastd'
export EDITOR=nano

Thank you. Adding n() function in the quitcd bash script to my .bashrc did the trick.

I feel it is overly complicated for an expected intuitive behavior! Thanks for the nice tool though:D

It's not possible to do it otherwise. A process (nnn in this case) cannot arbitrarily change the working directory of another process (the parent shell).

Now I see. Thanks for the clarification.
