Yazi

In an effort to make things easy, I keep compatibility/yazi-x.y.z branches with each pointing to the most up-to-date commit compatible with yazi release x.y.z. Full table below.

Yazi releases	what-size branch name
latest stable	main
25.5.28	compatibility/yazi-25.5.28
25.x-25.4.8	compatibility/yazi-25.4.8
0.4.x	compatibility/yazi-0.4.x
0.3.x	compatibility/yazi-0.3.x

Please notice that nightly releses may work but are not explicitly supported.

Requirements

Before Yazi's version 25.5.28

• Use this commit: Old version
• du on Linux and macOS
• PowerShell on Windows

On Yazi's version 25.5.28 or newer

• No requirement

Installation

ya pkg add pirafrank/what-size

or (DEPRECATED - use only for yazi 25.4.8 and older):

ya pack -a 'pirafrank/what-size'

Usage

Keymap

Add this to your ~/.config/yazi/keymap.toml:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [ ".", "s" ]
run  = "plugin what-size"
desc = "Calc size of selection or cwd" 

If you want to copy the result to clipboard, you can add --clipboard or -c as 2nd positional argument:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on   = [ ".", "s" ]
run  = "plugin what-size -- '--clipboard'"
desc = "Calc size of sel/cwd + paste to clipboard"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = [ ".", "s" ]
run = "plugin what-size -- '-c'"
desc = "Calc size of sel/cwd + paste to clipboard"

Change to whatever keybinding you like.

User interface (optional)

If you want to place the size value exactly where you want, modify the priority value. Also changing two strings LEFT and RIGHT will add them to the left and right side of the value. Remember to add to and change these lines inside your init.lua file if you want to customize, or the plugin will use this configuration by default:

require("what-size"):setup({
    priority = 400,
    LEFT = "",
    RIGHT = " ",
})

To get debug logs while develoing use ya.dbg() in your code, then set the YAZI_LOG environment variable to debug before running Yazi.
