My biggest problem with terminal browsers in macos is how tightly integrated finder is with many workflows. I'm interested how you handle the following two things: Alfred or Raycast can automatically open at file location in Finder. Second, how do you use Yazi when you need to interface with drag and drop operations like via file selection in an internet browser? Basically terminal browsers are clunky outside of the terminal. I haven't found a good solution.
for question #1: Shift+O opens the context menu where you could select 'reveal' to find the file within finder. for question #2: terminal file managers are for people who already using the terminal a lot. if you have to interact with a lot of GUI regularly, like an artist for example, then a terminal file manager is probably the wrong tool for you.
@@uhdwufud Imagine that I work a lot with text and text files, which is awesome with terminal (fzf, rg). Where do I get the text from? UI based sources like: E-Mail (Mail-Client), Googling (Safari), PDFs (Preview). macOS is intended to be a point and click/drag adventure ... :-)
I'm really enjoying using this tool! Could you please share your WezTerm tabs configuration? The look with icons, chevrons, and the color theme is fantastic.
Yazi is awesome i been considering making an ansible or similar to quickly deploy all cli/tui distros like one with all suckless tools one with all rust cli tui tools, maybe a go one idk lol sounds fun ish
Great video! Can someone help me, because I hava no idea how to change the default file opening app. I am trying anything, but nothing works. In [opener] i've put Preview for pdf files, IINA for mp4 files, but it does nothing. I've also added export EDITOR="Preview" but it also doesn't work : (
Does the trick to see details about a file work for anyone else? Think it is called spotting and I have the entries in both keymap and yazi.toml. The entries came from the yazi keymap-default.toml and yazi-default.toml Thx, Joe
I switched to nvim because of you. Thanks man

That's a good question I also came up with. I think most things can be done via Clipboard?

Great job!
What do you think about Midnight Commander, it's older but has 2 panes and allow to connect to remote servers via ssh?
I haven’t tried it but I know it’s really popular too!

do video previews work in yazi? (not just the thumbnail but actual video plays in the preview pane)
Can you make a video how to manage dotfile?

Hey! I’d make sure you have the latest version of Yazi. Not sure if this is the issue but I would check for this first.
@@joseanmartinez That was it, on Version 4.3 now. Thanks, Joe
