E994: Not allowed in a popup window

Hi,

If I use vifm in a vim terminal window and I use <C-w>w to switch to preview window to scroll the file preview I get this -

E994: Not allowed in a popup window

Does anyone know if there is any way to get this to work ?

thx,

Hi,

I just wanted to add, I am not trying to go back to main window - I am just wanting to send <C-w>w in app in terminal window for it to use internally.

thx,

Try using CTRL-W . w
The dot means "this terminal".  See ":help t_CTRL-W_."

Bram, hi

Thanks so much!  That works great.

If <C-w>w in a vim terminal will always get me E994 then do you see a reason to not add something like:

tnoremap <C-w>w  <C-w>.w

to my .vimrc ?

thx for vim,

-m

Hi again,

Specifically for vifm, I just discovered <S-Tab> works to switch to/from preview window.

take care,
