If I browse to a folder in VIFM, is there a way to open a nautilus window from that location? I'm interested in this so I can use point-and-click drag and dropping features of nautilus in certain contexts (vifm is the most efficient way to find a location, but it isn't necessarily the most efficient way to manipulate files/folders within that location, or so it seems to me).

In Vifm you can set custom commands with:
:command name action
So by setting a command like:
:command [name-you-wish] nautilus .
every time you type
:[name-you-wish]
nautilus will open the current directory.
For example:
:command oin nautilus .
:oin

2Alternative/additional way is to bind it to a key, e.g.
nnoremap ,e :!nautilus .<cr>
. It's a bit faster if it's a common task.– xaizekOct 5, 2014 at 20:28
