About:
Yazi is a high-performance terminal file manager built in Rust, leveraging async I/O for lightning-fast operations. It features a fully asynchronous architecture that ensures smooth performance even with large directories and remote file systems. The tool offers a modern, intuitive interface with Vim-like keybindings and extensive customization options via a simple TOML configuration.
Key Features:
  • Fully asynchronous I/O for maximum performance
  • Vim-like keybindings and modal editing
  • Extensible plugin system and Lua configuration
  • Image preview support (via Sixel/ueberzug)
  • Built-in code highlighting and file previewing
Use Cases:
  • High-speed file navigation and management in large codebases
  • Remote server file administration over SSH
  • Batch file operations and renaming
Alternatives:
  • ranger – Yazi is written in Rust for better performance, while Ranger is Python-based and can be slower with large directories.
  • lf – Both are fast, but Yazi offers a more modern UI and built-in async support out of the box.
