feat: can use ya emit for more accurate <tab> to file (opt-in)

[mikavilpas]

To celebrate the release of yazi 0.4.0, you can now opt in to improve the accuracy of <tab> to a file. Read below for more information on what this is and how you can opt into using it.

https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/releases/tag/v0.4.0

Background

When yazi is open, and there are multiple splits open in neovim, it's currently possible to press <tab> to cycle through the open buffers. When you press <tab>, yazi will change its current directory and focus the file that's next in the list of open splits (vertical or horizontal split).

Issue

When pressing <tab>, yazi was only able to change its current directory to the same directory the next split is in. If there were multiple files in that directory, the first file would be focused. This is not necessarily the file that's next in the list of open splits, which can be disorienting.

Solution

If you have yazi 0.4.0 or later, you can now set the following in your yazi.nvim configuration:

---@type YaziConfig
{
  -- ... lots of other settings, see the README
  future_features = {
    -- Whether to use `ya emit reveal` to reveal files in the file manager.
    -- This requires yazi 0.4.0 but will likely be the default in the
    -- future.
    ya_emit_reveal = true,
  },
}
