Re: Choosing directory to save file to, inside nano

Hi thanks for answering,
I was kind of fearing that, but isn't there maybe a possibility of a key
binding combination that could call an external script doing all or part of
the necessary work? Making a shell script with fzf navigating through the
directories and saving the user choice into clipboard is easy achievable.
How to call such a script then in nano through a key binding? If at all
possible, of course.
Thank you anyway.
