It's the keybind "S" with nnn (or "A" for apparent usage). You can also use the same option ("-S") to open nnn in du mode.

I explained the nnn design strategy in my other response

This can be added but it changes the current generic way of handling directory entries

That would actually be a constructive data to improve nnn as well.

Thanks for the notes!

No worries. I wish I was able to give better feedback, but I am nowhere near as expert a user as many others surely are.

I like how 'on the ball' you are with this though, it's that kind of passion that makes projects like nnn so strong!
