Describe the question

Working on a shell command to run in yazi that restores selected files from the trash, and was wondering if there was a way to pass a notification to yazi similar to the one shown below:

Currently, using then echo "⚠️ ERROR: This command only works in the trash folder."; echo ""; echo "You are currently in: $PWD"; echo ""; echo "Please navigate to the trash folder first."; to generate an error message. With this, if I get an error I have to:

1. press "w" to see which command failed
2. press "enter" to view the error message
3. press "q" to exit the error message
4. press "x" to clear the failed command
5. then dismiss it with "esc"

A momentary toast/notification instead of a 5-step message would be a better experience. Any way of doing this in yazi?

Anything else?

Yes, you can emit a notification message via the ya.notify() API, see https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/utils#ya.notify
