Awesome PR, one issue I've found so far was icons not aligning with the correct folder when hide_root_folder = true
preview

[kyazdani42]

yep @RaafatTurki i've fixed it in the PR add navigation

[RaafatTurki]

I think an another issue that was introduced by this PR is the misalignment of folders and files when indent markers are enabled

renderer.indent_markers.enable = true

renderer.indent_markers.enable = false

unrelated @RaafatTurki, please open a new issue, i believe this is related to #1408

explain to a beginner: as a result, bookmarks work or not, in the help in paragraph 8 about bookmarks, the default key "m" sets the bookmark icon against the folder, but after restarting the editor, the bookmarks are not saved. And without saving bookmarks when their program exits, they are useless. Or, most likely, did I not understand something?

And without saving bookmarks when their program exits, they are useless.

Bookmarks are not persisted. The documentation does not state that they are persisted. Persistence is possible but not implemented.

Your opinion on their usefulness is noted, however such comments from you are not welcome in the future.

What about bulk open?

[martin-braun]

Bulk move and bulk open are actions designed for temporary marks (not bookmarks), while navigating marks and marks persistence are more designed for permanent marks (like bookmarks).

I think it would make sense to have two types of marks. Bookmarks (blue) and temporary marks (red). Bookmarks could be toggled with capital M instead of m. Bookmarks then should be persisted in the .local directory somewhere.

What do you think?

Also, could we add a bullet point for a proper documentation of all the features?

Finally, I'd like to say I love the direction this plugin is heading towards to.
