Describe the question

I'd like to run a shell command on a file, and see the output of that command running, rather than yazi immediately resuming. is there a way to do this? alternatively, is there a way to drop into a shell from yazi? as opposed to exiting into the shell.

Anything else?

According to this tip droping into the shell looks like this

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on   = "!"
run  = 'shell "$SHELL" --block'
desc = "Open shell here"

Nice, I missed that! A great solution. Thank you!
