Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

When I'm transferring over a slow USB connection, having a bunch of concurrent copies slows down all operations.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

[ ] Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to ask yazi to process these operations sequentially while doing this kind of work.

Additional context

No response

Hey, it's possible.

In Yazi, copying and cutting are considered macro tasks. You can adjust them using macro_workers - you might need to gradually lower this value to find a suitable balance.

For more information on micro tasks and macro tasks, see: https://yazi-rs.github.io/blog#async-task-scheduling

Closing as already supported.

Thank you for the resource. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn and use Yazi. =)
