Help toggling settings

[oredaze]

I am trying to get a ranger-like preview toggle. Basically removing the preview column without changing layout. It is achieved by disabling the preview column and setting ratios as per below.
This is where I am at, but I don't know how to check for the status of the preview setting and I don't know how to apply 2 settings at once.

cmd preview_toggle %{{
  if [ $lf_preview "on" ]; then
    lf -remote "send $id set preview!"
    lf -remote "send $id set ratios 1:5"
  else
    lf -remote "send $id set preview!"
    lf -remote "send $id set ratios 1:2:3"
  fi
}}
map zp preview_toggle

To check whether the preview column is enabled you need to use = to compare the strings. Also the string you should compare to is true, not on.

To apply two settings at once, you need to separate them using ;, and also add : at the start (this means an lf command, and is normally implied but needs to be specified if chaining multiple commands using ;).

Here is the modified config:

cmd preview_toggle %{{
  if [ "$lf_preview" = "true" ]; then
    lf -remote "send $id :set preview!; set ratios 1:5"
  else
    lf -remote "send $id :set preview!; set ratios 1:2:3"
  fi
}}
map zp preview_toggle

@oredaze Thanks for providing this configuration example. I have added it to the wiki so that other users can benefit from this.
