How can I view file modification times in yazi?
Answer
- AI/Response
- Use line mode so each row in the file list shows metadata on the right. Set
[mgr] linemode = "mtime" in ~/.config/yazi/yazi.toml to show last modified time for files. - Other built-in values include
"none", "size", "btime" (birth time), "permissions", and "owner" (Unix), per yazi.toml | Yazi — mgr.linemode. - Interactive / keymap: the
linemode action accepts the same mode names (e.g. linemode mtime). Bind it in keymap.toml if you want to cycle modes without editing config (keymap — mgr.linemode). - Sorting by mtime: that is separate from display — use
[mgr] sort_by = "mtime" (or the sort action) if you want the listing ordered by modification time. - yazi/Plugin/spotter Spotter:
spot (default Tab in the preset map) opens the file-information spotter for more detail on the hovered file.
