how to use the $EDITOR as the default rename tool?

[woshichuanqilz]

I don't want to use The default input box. I want nvim as the default tool to rename. But after I read the doc, there seems no options for it. SO any way to make it?

You can do that by pressing <Space> and r consecutively. Yazi takes the selected files(not hovered) and bulk renames it in neovim(EDITOR).
So selecting one file and pressing "r" opens neovim

I don't want press two keys. I want it replaced original r key

[AnirudhG07]

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = [ "r"]
run = [ "select --state=none", "rename --cursor=before_ext"]
desc  = "rename in neovim"

Here you go.

but this has will ask for a confirmation like bulk renaming. sooo with this you ll have to deal with that.

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = [ "r"]
run = [ "select --state=none", "rename --cursor=before_ext"]
desc  = "rename in neovim"

Here you go.

After quit the $Editor, there is a confirm dialog, is there a way to disable it?

I try the --force option not work

`{ on = [ "r" ],         run = ["select --state=none", "rename --cursor=start --force"], desc = "Rename in neovim" },`

Yes it's not working for me either. Please make a new discussion question on this.
Also -

`{ on = [ "r" ],         run = ["select --state=none", "rename --cursor=start --force", "select --state=none"], desc = "Rename in neovim" },`

This will deselect the file after you rename it. Else you would see it selected(atleast I did). If it already is deselected for you, the file, then its fine
