Usage

The following snippets should be included on your ~/.config/yazi/keymap.toml file. Make sure the keys are not used elsewhere.

Search by content using ripgrep

This option uses ripgrep to output all the lines of all files, and then uses fzf to fuzzy matching.

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on   = [ "f","g" ]
run  = "plugin fg"
desc = "find file by content (fuzzy match)"

The following option passes the input to ripgrep for a match search, reusing the rg search each time the input is changed. This is useful for searching in large folders due to increased speed, but it does not support fuzzy matching.

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on   = [ "f","G" ]
run  = "plugin fg --args='rg'"
desc = "find file by content (ripgrep match)"

Search by content using ripgrep-all

This option uses ripgrep-all to output all the lines of all files, and then uses fzf to fuzzy matching.

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on   = [ "f","a" ]
run  = "plugin fg --args='rga'"
desc = "find file by content (ripgrep-all)"

Search by filename with fzf

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on   = [ "f","f" ]
run  = "plugin fg --args='fzf'"
desc = "find file by filename"

Tips

You can customize the default colors by using the fzf environment variable, FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS. For an example, check out the Catppuccin's repo.
