I'm not able to reproduce; it seems I am missing a step. Attempt:

I think there is a defer_fn in this area which might cause that if reload is slow after adding a file.

@alex-courtis Sorry for being late . Please have a look . If i am trying it from the tmp folder itself then it is working as intended, but when working on a react project or a wordpress project the cursor jumps back .

Aha! It's the wrapped was properly created message forcing an enter press.

You're right about the defer_fn

Always calling reload then immediately focusing "resolves" the issue. Perhaps a synchronous call to refresh the directory followed by synchronous focus.

Thoughts @kyazdani42 ?

i dont mind a hack for this, current solution is already a hack :)
