Using yazi, how do I move a file from one location to another?
Answer
- AI/Response
- Yazzi is almost certainly yazi (the Rust terminal file manager).
- Move to another folder: select the entry (Space, or use visual mode v), press x to yank (cut), navigate to the target directory (h / j / k / l or arrows), then p to paste. That moves the file or directory from the source path to the destination.
- Copy instead of move: y (copy yank), move the cursor to the destination, p to paste.
- If a same-named file already exists: P (shift+p) pastes with overwrite; plain p avoids overwriting by renaming (suffix such as
_1) per default behavior. - Rename without changing folder: r renames the selection in the current directory only.
- Cancel the pending yank: Y or X clears cut/copy state.
