paste function with overwrite

[og900aero]

It would be nice if there was a another paste command (example paste-overwrite) that would not use dupfilefmt in case of duplication of the file, but would overwrite the file.

cmd paste-overwrite %{{
    mode=$(head -1 ~/.local/share/lf/files)
    list=$(sed 1d ~/.local/share/lf/files)
    if [ $mode = 'copy' ]; then
        cp -r $list .
    elif [ $mode = 'move' ]; then
        mv $list .
    fi
    lf -remote 'send load'
    lf -remote 'send clear'
}}

It's not good for me, because I use alternative copy methode, and your result doesnt show copy percentage. So would be nice if there is a base option to copy/move with overwrite.

I use this to copy/cut files with progress:

# alternate paste workflow (select then move/copy)
cmd alt-paste &{{
    if [ -n "$fs" ]; then
        lf -remote "send $id $1"
    fi
    lf -remote "send $id paste"
}}

# show progress for file copying/cutting
# will overwrite files without any prompt!
cmd paste &{{
    set -- $(cat $HOME/.local/share/lf/files)
    mode="$1"
    shift
    if [ "$#" -lt 1 ]; then
        lf -remote "send $id echo no files selected"
        exit
    fi
    case "$mode" in
        copy)
            rsync --archive -hh --partial --info=stats1,progress2 --modify-window=1 "$@" . |
            stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 tr '\r' '\n' |
            while IFS= read -r line; do
                lf -remote "send $id echo $line"
            done
            ;;
        move)
            rsync --archive -hh --partial --info=stats1,progress2 --modify-window=1 --remove-source-files "$@" . |
            stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 tr '\r' '\n' |
            while IFS= read -r line; do
                lf -remote "send $id echo $line"
            done
            ;;
    esac
    lf -remote "send clear"
}}

map t alt-paste cut
map y alt-paste copy

You could use pv to show better progress with mv/cp.

map t alt-paste cut

I want to use internal method.
