Describe the bug

Issue Description

Is there a recommended way to configure clipboard operations for macOS users? Or is this potentially a bug in how Yazi 0.4.2 interacts with macOS clipboard operations?

I am unable to configure Yazi to copy file contents to system clipboard using pbcopy. The native macOS clipboard command pbcopy works correctly in the terminal (echo "test" | pbcopy functions as expected), but cannot get it working within Yazi's configuration.

Attempted Configurations

I've tried multiple approaches in yazi.toml, but none have worked:

Attempt 1

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = "y"
exec = "shell"
args = { cmd = "cat \"{}\" | pbcopy && echo 'Copied to clipboard!'" }

Attempt 2

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = "y"
run = [
    "shell 'cat \"$@\" | pbcopy'",
    "yank"
]
desc = "Copy file contents to clipboard"

Attempt 3

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = "y"
run = "shell '/bin/zsh -c \"cat \\\"$@\\\" | pbcopy\"'"
desc = "Copy file contents to clipboard"

Attempt 4

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = "y"
exec = "shell"
args = { command = "cat $YAZI_CURRENT_FILE | pbcopy" }

Current Behavior

None of the configurations result in the file contents being copied to the clipboard. No error messages are displayed in the status bar.

Minimal reproducer

1. Append config entries to yazi.toml with:

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = "y"
exec = "shell"
args = { cmd = "cat \"{}\" | pbcopy" }

2. Create a test file:

echo "test content" > test.txt

3. Steps to reproduce:

• Start yazi
• Navigate to test.txt
• Press 'y'
• Try to paste in any text editor

Expected: The content "test content" should be in clipboard
Actual: Nothing is copied to clipboard

Anything else?

No response

Checklist

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)
