How do I open multiple files from lf file manager?

Question

I use the space key to select multiple files but then when I do :open it only opens one of then (despite multiple being selected). I find it strange because the space key seems to work fine for other operations like copying and pasting multiple files. I took a look at their documentation but haven't found anything specific to this issue.

Create custom open command and supply multiple arguments with $fx instead of a single argument with $f.

$f: Current file selection as a full path.

$fx: Selected file(s) (i.e. 'fs') if there are any selected files, otherwise current file selection (i.e. 'f').

See Opening Files documentation.
