Toggle a persistent Yazi panel ?

[uwla]

Hello thanks for the awesome plugin!

Is there a way to toggle an Yazi panel such that it persists the state after close? For example, I open an Yazi panel (may be at the current buffer directory or at the VCS root) and I navigate to a subdir, open some tabs, and so on, ..., and then I'd like to reopen that same Yazi panel instead of starting a fresh new one

Hi, glad you're enjoying it! I think I'll add support for this in the future.

For now, you can try :Yazi toggle which is a "dumb" implementation. It simply reopens yazi where it was closed previously.

It's not perfect but in some cases it can be useful. Let's keep this open until a fancier solution is available 🙂

@mikavilpas I saw you were discussing getting persistent yazi with toggleterm, which is another excellent plugin. I have toggleterm configured to launch an yazi instance, but the problem is when editing files it creates nested nvim sessions. Then I came accross nvim-remote which could potentially solve this issue: changes the EDITOR to nvim remote which will forward the file to the original nvim session, via a socket address. Thay way, we would have persistent yazi using toggleterm. If I can get it to work I'll post it here.

In shell, Yazi can be suspended with built in keymap <c-z>, and brought back with fg command. I will take a look latter, maybe we can find a way to integrate it with Yazi.nvim.
