When reporting a bug, please also upload the `yazi.log` log file - only upload the most recent content by time.
You can find it in the "/home/shadow/.local/state/yazi" directory.Please describe the problem you're trying to solve
I don't know if it is implemented yet(read the entire docs but still couldn't find it) but is it possible to create multiple files/folder in a single yazi prompt. I want a feature like the mkdir and touch command have.
For e.g:
touch one.txt two.txt : This will create two file- one.txt and two.txt
mkdir -p root/{one,two}: This will create two folders- root/one and root/two
I want to have the similar functionality in the yazi prompt that opens after pressing a key.
If this is feature is implemented would you mind sharing the syntax
Would you be willing to contribute this feature?
- Yes, I'll give it a shot
Describe the solution you'd like
What I want is:
- Open the create file prompt by pressing the a key
- For the input
{one,two}/{file.txt,file.yaml} three/should make the following tree structure of the directories
.
├── one
│ ├── file.txt
│ └── file.yaml
└── two
│ ├── file.txt
│ └── file.yaml
└── three
the syntax can be anything as long as it does the job
Additional context
No response
Validations
- I have searched the existing issues/discussions
- The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature
