lf’s configuration files
~/.confif/lf/lfrc– The main lf configuration.~/.config/lf/scope– The file that determines which commands generates previews for files.
The other files in the ~/.config/lf/ directory are run automatically when needed.
Notes
Notice that alias lf will tell you that technically you are running the
wrapper script lfrun when you run lf. This has to do with sixel previews.
