Show filename in prompt when deleting a file

[cbr9]

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

Hello, and thank you for creating yazi! Today I discovered it and ditched lf in favor of yazi :)

However, I have a request. I would like to see the name of the file I am about to delete, if it's just one, or even potentially a list of them if several are selected.

The point would be to avoid accidental deletions of important files

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

I'm not sure if delete_title can be a multiline string, or how that's rendered, but an idea would be to expose an extra variable, similar to lf's $fx or $fs. Then the prompt could be something like:

Delete the following files?
[...list of files]
(y/N)

Additional context

The current deletion prompt is an input box, which cannot include multi-line file list information in the title. I plan to add a separate confirm component to achieve this, it looks like:

"Are you sure you want to move this file to the trash?" can be replaced with multi-line text. (Screenshot from neo-tree, a file manager plugin in neovim)

But I haven't had enough time to complete it, would you like to give it a try? - If you're interested, I'll provide more details on how to implement it ;)

Sure, if I get some free time I can play around with it for a bit

Thank you, here are some implementation details:

1. Copy /yazi-core/src/select/ as /yazi-core/src/confirm/, which is a relatively simple module and can be a good starting point.

2. Add pub confirm: Confirm below pub input:
   

   yazi/yazi-fm/src/context.rs

   Lines 5 to 14 in 955e8f5

   	pub struct Ctx {
   	pub manager: Manager,
   	pub tasks: Tasks,
   	pub select: Select,
   	pub input: Input,
   	pub help: Help,
   	pub completion: Completion,
   	pub which: Which,
   	pub notify: Notify,
   	}

3. Add self.cx.confirm.visible below self.cx.input.visible in Root for rendering the Confirm component:
   

   yazi/yazi-fm/src/root.rs

   Lines 33 to 36 in 955e8f5

   	if self.cx.input.visible {
   	input::Input::new(self.cx).render(area, buf);
   	}

4. Add a new Confirm in Layer to indicate the layer level of this component, below Input:
   

   yazi/yazi-shared/src/layer.rs

   Lines 6 to 16 in 955e8f5

   	pub enum Layer {
   	#[default]
   	App,
   	Manager,
   	Tasks,
   	Select,
   	Input,
   	Help,
   	Completion,
   	Which,
   	}

5. Add a new [confirm] section in keymap.toml to define key bindings (confirm, cancel) for Confirm component:

   [confirm]
   keymap = [
    	{ on = [ "<Esc>" ], run = "close", desc = "Cancel the confirm" },
    	{ on = [ "n" ],     run = "close", desc = "Cancel the confirm" },
    	{ on = [ "y" ],     run = "close --submit", desc = "Submit the confirm" },
   ]
