There is a sudo plugin already for yazi https://github.com/TD-Sky/sudo.yazi, though it depends on nushell, someone needs to port the code if they want to use it on another shell I'm afraid... |

That's not a good solution. There is a separate button for each operation. This is too much, too complicated. The proper solution would be what I wrote above. |

I used gemini cli to translate the NuShell code to python and ruby if anyone doesn't want to install nushell just for this plugin: |

Thx for your work, but this is still a cumbersome solution, and each operation requires a separate button, whereas the solution outlined by me (and the developer of sff) does not require x number of key combinations to operate. |

Ha, I didn't really do anything, thank gemini! In fact the plugin is broadly equivalent, Yazi allows double letter bindings, so you can use e.g. r to enable a sudo "mode" then use the same commands as normal, e.g. a to create a file or directory, p to paste. Yazi allows for this "mode" method, and I can't quite understand why ctrl + t + a is so much better? (I never used the tool your mentioned, so may have misunderstood) I do think Yazi should have sudo support built-in, this is pretty core to working in *nix systems, though I understand there are dev problems doing it. Ubuntu recently switched to a rust-based sudo: https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs and I naively wonder if this code could be utilised by yazi as it is also rust-based? |

My opinion is better because then it's not limited to a few operations, but from then on it would do everything with sudo privileges. |

The great thing about open-source, choose what works best for you. For me 99% of what I sudo is covered with @TD-Sky's plugin and Yazi is overall excellent

Yazi implements its own file operations such as copy, move, and creation, instead of relying on commands like On *nix, it's not possible to elevate privileges without exiting the current (Yazi) process, and if you do need to exit the current process, then using The reasons for not relying on

Lf file manager also has built-in copy and move commands, but it can be solved with a plugin script that uses sudo with its built-in commands, and preserving the progressbar. Perhaps Go is better than Rust in this respect. |

I found the good solution for using sudo command for copy, move, rename, delete, edit, view files.
https://codeberg.org/sylphenix/sff/wiki#sudo-mode
This is a clever and attractive solution. I press CTRL+T, the letter S appears in statusbar (foreground black, background red), and when I do a copy, move, rename, open a file, etc., it automatically starts the command with a sudo. It gets the associated password and runs it. I think this is a very civilized solution. It would be worthwhile to develop this into it.
Can someone program this?
