Yazelix v4.1

Overview

Yazelix integrates yazi, zellij and helix, hence the name, get it?

Preview

Improvements of the v4.1 over v4

Improvements of the v4 over v3

Instructions to set it up

  1. Make sure yazi, zellij, helix, and nushell are installed and in your path
  2. Just clone this repo in your ~/.config dir
  3. Take a look at the configure wezterm step on https://github.com/luccahuguet/rustifier to see how to configure yazelix on wezterm
    • If you use another shell, you have to configure it to run something like nu -c "zellij -l welcome --config-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij options --layout-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij/layouts" on startup
    • or zellij -l welcome --config-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij options --layout-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij/layout (but you still need nu anyways)
    • Another option, if you wish, run this command manually every time you open yazelix
    • The recommended shell is Wezterm though. More on that in the Notes section below
  4. Optional: Using zoxide enhances the yazelix experience ten-fold, let me tell ya... and it integrates with yazi

That's it, and feel free to open issues and PRs 😉
