Feature request: pre-populate path at the end of a : command line.

[fedemp]

Since filebeagle does not have a native implementation to delete files, it would be useful having something like https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar has.

Press . on a file to pre-populate it at the end of a : command line. This is great, for example, to quickly initiate a :grep of the file or directory under the cursor. There's also !, which starts the line off with a bang. Type !chmod +x and get :!chmod +x path/to/file.

I know filebeagle has :ClipPathName but this would be different, cause the global register should not be used and the command line is prepopulated.

In case you could live with the register solution:

I'm using this at the moment and I'm happy with it.

autocmd User FileBeagleReadPost nnoremap <buffer> . :ClipPathname<CR>:<C-U> <C-R>+<Home>
autocmd User FileBeagleReadPost nnoremap <buffer> ! :ClipPathname<CR>:<C-U> <C-R>+<Home>!

It would still be great if there was a solution without using the clipboard.

@spiderpug have you tried :PreFill? I see that I forgot to add it to the docs.
