Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I don't know if it is implemented yet(read the entire docs but still couldn't find it) but is it possible to create multiple files/folder in a single yazi prompt. I want a feature like the mkdir and touch command have.

For e.g:
touch one.txt two.txt : This will create two file- one.txt and two.txt
mkdir -p root/{one,two}: This will create two folders- root/one and root/two

I want to have the similar functionality in the yazi prompt that opens after pressing a key.

If this is feature is implemented would you mind sharing the syntax

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

What I want is:

• Open the create file prompt by pressing the a key
• For the input {one,two}/{file.txt,file.yaml} three/ should make the following tree structure of the directories

.
├── one
│   ├── file.txt
│   └── file.yaml
└── two
│   ├── file.txt
│   └── file.yaml
└── three

the syntax can be anything as long as it does the job

Additional context

No response

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature

[sxyazi]

I plan to add a "bulk-creation" feature and have reserved a key A for it — pressing A will open the user's configured editor, where they can edit a list of filenames.

After saving the file, Yazi will automatically create those files, similar to how the bulk rename (r key) works.

Just haven't had the time to implement it yet — it's not a high priority, and it can already be achieved through plugin APIs.
