Hello,

Would you consider supporting rounded borders around current and future selections, as such:

This may really improve the feel of the tui.

Hmm, how did you make it rounded? 😂

[MinaMatta98]

Oh, haha,

I used a screenshot and colored in the edges. HAHAHA

Yazi allows you to rewrite most of the UI through UI plugins, and you can achieve this by extending the linemode:

function Folder:linemode(area)
  local lines = {}
  for _, f in ipairs(self:by_kind(self.CURRENT).window) do
    if f:is_hovered() then
      -- You may want to change the "foreground color" here to adapt to your theme
      lines[#lines + 1] = ui.Line { ui.Span(""):bg("reset"):fg("blue") }
      break
    else
      lines[#lines + 1] = ui.Line {}
    end
  end
  return ui.Paragraph(area, lines):align(ui.Alignment.RIGHT)
end

Save those lines as a file, for example ~/.config/yazi/ui.lua, and include it in the yazi.toml:

[plugins]
preload = [
  "~/.config/yazi/ui.lua"
]

This is just an example, please read the documentation about linemode: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#:~:text=and%20sort_reverse%20only-,linemode,-%3A%20Line%20mode

No, all layouts are implemented in Rust, Lua merely provides a representation layer for layout configuration.

Also, all state data is native to Rust and provided to Lua in a read-only shared manner, thus avoiding unnecessary memory allocation — they're just pointers, so they're inexpensive.

[MinaMatta98]

Awesome.

Did you have an API reference for the lua?

Or is https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/tree/main/yazi-plugin/preset sufficient?

[sxyazi]

Nope, this isn't sufficient, but it's all we have for now. I'll find time to add more documents.

[MinaMatta98]

Sorry, could you also detail how to apply the same to the parent?

[sxyazi]

ill find time to try implementing rounded edges for other directories
