I used Yazi for about a day and loved it, but there's just enough ergonomics missing that I ended up switching back to nnn for now.
My main issue I couldn't find a way to filter the list of files/directories for the current directory I'm in. Let's say I want to go to directory `cpp`, and it's 22 entries down the list of current files/folders. If I try to `fd` for `cpp`, I'm going to get back a ton of results from all over my hard drive. So it seems like I need to just scroll way down, which is a bummer. In nnn, you can just type `/` then `cpp` and it will filter results in CWD that match.
A nice-to-have would be live fuzzy-find functionality for the fd/rg integration, but that is not so critical.
The other thing I like about nnn is it retains `g` and `G` from vim to go to the top and bottom of the list of results respectively. I didn't see a similar operation in yazi.
Otherwise, very awesome tool, the performance is excellent, I appreciate how you explicitly state the external shell programs you interface with, I love the built in previews, and the devicons look clean.
The enhanced find/filter feature has been noted in the Feature Requests (https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/issues/51), and I will make an effort to implement it soon. Of course, PRs welcome if possible :)
