How to set nvim as opener for files? (windows)

[nik-rev]

I tried this in yazi.toml:

[opener]
edit = [
  { run = "nvim %*", for = "windows" },
]

But it seems to be running it in the background instead of opening it with neovim

I get this in the right corner:

Also yazi becomes very very slow when i click "enter" on a file. probably because the process in the background

also tried

  { run = "nvim %*", for = "windows" },

But it didn't change anything

I thought maybe yazi needs EDITOR env variable. So i did

setx EDITOR nvim

To no avail

Can you send your yazi --debug? It might be helpful to track issue

I'm using Vim instead nvim but my yazi.toml contains the following:
{ run = 'vim.exe %*', orphan = true, desc = "vim", for = "windows" },

• Env for VISUAL is set to vim.exe
• Env for YAZI_FILE_ONE is set to c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\file.exe

Does vim in your %PATH% env variables? Also you should use block = true rather than orphan = true, https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#opener

I think for my workflow block and orphan won't change much. But I will try block = true.
The path to vim.exe is also in env variables.

Switched to from orphan to block.
Should have mentioned that my setup with vim.exe works... sorry for confusion.

I set block = true and it works for me now.

	{ run = 'nvim %*',    block = true, desc = "nvim",           for = "windows" },

thank you!
