## 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`.
|
|
