If you're interested in the topics of concurrency, performance, and io_uring discussed in this thread, you can take a look at my new article where I provide a detailed explanation of "Why is Yazi Fast?"
My main issue I couldn't find a way to filter the list of files/directories for the current directory I'm in. Let's say I want to go to directory `cpp`, and it's 22 entries down the list of current files/folders. If I try to `fd` for `cpp`, I'm going to get back a ton of results from all over my hard drive. So it seems like I need to just scroll way down, which is a bummer. In nnn, you can just type `/` then `cpp` and it will filter results in CWD that match.
A nice-to-have would be live fuzzy-find functionality for the fd/rg integration, but that is not so critical.
The other thing I like about nnn is it retains `g` and `G` from vim to go to the top and bottom of the list of results respectively. I didn't see a similar operation in yazi.
Otherwise, very awesome tool, the performance is excellent, I appreciate how you explicitly state the external shell programs you interface with, I love the built in previews, and the devicons look clean.
In fact, `G` and `gg` are already supported in Yazi. You just need to set `arrow -999` for `gg`, and `arrow 999` for `G`. I've added it to the default keybindings: https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/commit/c540542da49004a3084b1d...
The enhanced find/filter feature has been noted in the Feature Requests (https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/issues/51), and I will make an effort to implement it soon. Of course, PRs welcome if possible :)
It's super simple to read (once I found the setting to display tabs as 4 chars in GitHub), well organized, and has some neat patterns that seem to work well for building out TUI apps. Come say hi in the Ratatui discord sometime.
One thing if I may: I can't figure out how to use it. Like: The bottom right says "1 remaining", but I don't know what that is. I can't figure out how to run `rg` or `fd` from within Yazi.
Is there a user manual or a tutorial somewhere to read?
You can press `?` or `~` to open the help panel, which contains all supported keybindings.
I took a long look at the "docs" but I did not find them helpful at all [1]
Even figuring out that you can press `?` to open the help panel took me way to long to figure out because it is not referenced in any obvious way.
I would be more than willing to stand on the user's side and continually improve the docs. If you would be interested in creating a quick guide for Yazi that would be great if it's possible :)
