Is there a way to create a hook during file renaming/movement?

[zhou13]

I am using https://github.com/alexpasmantier/pymple.nvim and I am interested in migrating to yazi.nvim. pymple.nvim requires a a hook on file renaming to setup: https://github.com/alexpasmantier/pymple.nvim/blob/main/lua/pymple/hooks.lua#L53-L71 according to alexpasmantier/pymple.nvim#46. Is there a way to do it with yazi.nvim?

Currently it's not possible, but I can add support for this. I think adding a custom event is the right way to do it.

When support for an event like this has been added, you should be able to add custom support for pymple right away.

Later on, I can suggest pymple to adopt yazi.nvim integration along with the others that it has.

Finally, any custom integration can be removed.

Would you like to create an issue for this?

Ok now it should be done. You can add an event handler like this in your config
to try it out:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "YaziRenamedOrMoved",
  -- see `:help event-args`
  ---@param event {data: YaziNeovimEvent.YaziRenamedOrMovedData}
  callback = function(event)
    -- printing the messages will allow seeing them with `:messages`
    print(vim.inspect({ "Just received an event!", event.data }))
  end,
})

Looks like this is also discussed here #493 (reply in thread)

edit: I meant here alexpasmantier/pymple.nvim#46

Hi, thanks for adding the feature.
Just tried it and it seems I can't detect any events when renaming or moving files with Yazi, even when setting up your example snippet.
Any idea why that might be?

I'm not sure the logs are of any help here but pasting them just in case:

Hmm I will look into this a bit. In the meantime, could you follow this and submit yazi.nvim logs as well as the checkhealth output?
