lf file manager: cancel ongoing copy operation

I am using lf file manager and I would like to know if there is a way to cancel an ongoing file/directory copy.
I found an answer for ranger over here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … le-manager
But nothing for lf.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: lf file manager: cancel ongoing copy operation

lf uses cp to copy the file(s), a simple ‘pkill cp’ would suffice
Failing that use htop to kill the cp process

Understood. But say I have multiple copies going on and only want to cancel one copy and not all. In that case do we have an option?

I see you have asked the packages authors https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/issues/390

Yeah that issue I reported after asking here and searching on Google. Let's see if we get any response.
