yafg.yazi (Yet Another FG)

Fuzzy find and grep in Yazi using ripgrep and fzf. This plugin provides an interactive search interface that allows you to search file contents and open results directly in your configured editor.

Inspired by fg.yazi

Requirements

bash
rg (ripgrep)
fzf
bat
A text editor (default: hx Helix)

Installation

Install the plugin via the package manager:

ya pkg add XYenon/yafg

This clones the repository, adds it to ~/.config/yazi/package.toml, and pins the current revision.

Usage

Add a shortcut in ~/.config/yazi/keymap.toml:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on  = [ "F", "G" ]
run = "plugin yafg"

Configuration

Customize the editor and command format in ~/.config/yazi/init.lua:

require("yafg"):setup({
  editor = "nvim",                    -- Editor command (default: "hx")
  args = { "--noplugin" },            -- Additional editor arguments (default: {})
  file_arg_format = "+{row} {file}",  -- File argument format (default: "{file}:{row}:{col}")
})

Format placeholders:

{file} - File path
{row} - Line number
{col} - Column number

Features

Interactive search: Use ripgrep to search file contents with live preview
Switch modes: Press Ctrl-T to toggle between ripgrep and fzf modes
Multi-select: Select multiple search results
Preview: View file contents with syntax highlighting via bat
Direct open: Opens selected files in your configured editor at the matched line
Configurable: Customize editor command, arguments, and file format

Troubleshooting

Failed to start fzf: ensure all required dependencies are installed (rg, fzf, bat, bash).
Preview not working: install bat for syntax-highlighted previews.
Editor not opening: ensure your configured editor is installed and in your PATH, or customize it in init.lua.

Development
