yaziline.yazi

Simple lualine-like status line for yazi.

All supported features are listed here. More presets are available here.

Requirements

• yazi version >= 917e1f5
• Font with symbol support. For example Nerd Fonts.

Compatibility

To keep the plugin up to date, there are two branches: main and nightly. The main branch follows major yazi releases, while nightly is linked to specific yazi commits or changes.

This setup allows shipping stable versions on time, while giving early access to "cutting-edge" changes. See matrix below.

Installation

2. Add this line to your ~/.config/yazi/init.lua:

require("yaziline"):setup()

Configuration

This is default config, if you want to see presets go to this section.

require("yaziline"):setup({
  color = "#98c379",
  secondary_color = "#5A6078",
  default_files_color = "darkgray", -- color of the file counter when it's inactive
  selected_files_color = "white",
  yanked_files_color = "green",
  cut_files_color = "red",

  separator_style = "angly", -- "angly" | "curvy" | "liney" | "empty"
  separator_open = "",
  separator_close = "",
  separator_open_thin = "",
  separator_close_thin = "",
  separator_head = "",
  separator_tail = "",

  select_symbol = "",
  yank_symbol = "󰆐",

  filename_max_length = 24, -- truncate when filename > 24
  filename_truncate_length = 6, -- leave 6 chars on both sides
  filename_truncate_separator = "..."
})

By default yaziline uses color values from your theme.toml:

• mode and position font color: th.which.mask.bg
• default_files_color: which.separator_style.fg
• selected_files_color: mgr.count_selected.bg
• yanked_files_color: mgr.count_copied.bg
• cut_files_color: mgr.count_cut.bg

Selected and Yanked Counter

Displays the number of selected ('S') and yanked ('Y') files on the left. If files are cut, the yank counter changes color, since its yank --cut under the hood.

Truncated filename

Displays the truncated filename on the left, which is useful for smaller windows or long filenames. By default, it's 24 characters with trimming to 12 (6 + 6). Adjust in the setup.

require("yaziline"):setup({
  filename_max_length = 24,
  filename_truncate_length = 6,
  filename_truncate_separator = "..."
})

ISO Date for 'Modified'

On the right, you'll find the date and time the file was modified, formatted in an ISO-like string for universal date representation. Adjust in the Status:date function.
