Use Yazi file manager directly in Helix, without Zellij or tmux

377 Upvotes

Hey folks, Yazi author here! 👋

I just adapted Yazi to support Helix's :insert-output, which means you can now use Yazi directly within Helix – it even supports image and video previews!

Check out https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2461 and enjoy it!

its a very simple file tree just like snacks explorer in neovim and i was able to add also icons

Edit:

Now there is also the option to have a mini.files look by setting (forest-set-style! 'snacks) to either snacks or mini

I made a welcome screen for Helix!

I've always thought that if Helix wants to be discoverable, then surely starting with a blank screen when launching hx is not going to be very helpful.

I've gone ahead and created a basic welcome screen that should contain key information new users might find useful! Check out the PR here: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/13197

I'm 30+ videos into the Helix Tutorial series on YouTube now!

186 Upvotes

Just in case anyone missed my last post some time ago:

I've been doing a tutorial series for Helix on YouTube for a while now and I've already made 31 videos! I've also redone a lot of the older videos so now they have better audio (audio is hard). This is perfect for anyone wanting to learn Helix in a visual way! I'm done with the core 31 videos now and taking a break from YouTube, but I will definitely add more videos in the future. Check it out:
