Power Tricks

1. Shell Wrapper (cd persists)

Use the y wrapper instead of raw yazi so your shell cds into the directory you navigated to on exit.

2. Clipboard on Yank (Wayland)

Bind y in keymap.toml to wl-copy -t text/uri-list then yank for system clipboard integration.

3. Git Root Jump

Bind g r to ya emit cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

4. Escape Closes Input

In keymap.toml input section: map Esc to close (skip vim mode).

5. Disable Image Previews

In yazi.toml plugin section: preloaders = [] and previewers = []. For network mounts: url = /remote/** run = noop.

6. Hostname in Header

In init.lua: Header:children_add with user_name() + host_name() spans.

7. Show Symlink Target in Status Bar

In init.lua: Status:children_add with h.link_to.
