opener

Configure available openers, for example:

[opener]
archive = [
	{ cmd = "unar", args = [ "$1" ] },
]
text = [
	{ cmd = "nvim", args = [ "$*" ], block = true },
]
# ...

Available parameters are as follows:

• cmd: The program to open the selected files
• args: Arguments to be passed
  • "$n": The N-th selected file
  • "$*": All selected files
  • "foo": Literal string to be passed
• block: Open in a blocking manner. After setting this, Yazi will hide into a secondary screen and display the program on the main screen until it exits. During this time, it can receive I/O signals, which is useful for interactive programs.

open

Set rules for opening specific files, for example:

[open]
rules = [
	{ mime = "text/*", use = "text" },
	{ mime = "image/*", use = "image" },

	# { mime = "application/json", use = "text" },
	{ name = "*.json", use = "text" },
]

Available rule parameters are as follows:

• name: Glob expression for matching the file name
• mime: Glob expression for matching the MIME type
• use: Opener name corresponding to the names in the opener section.
