This looks amazing! Just installed.

One thing if I may: I can't figure out how to use it. Like: The bottom right says "1 remaining", but I don't know what that is. I can't figure out how to run `rg` or `fd` from within Yazi.

Is there a user manual or a tutorial somewhere to read?

Thank you!

You can press `?` or `~` to open the help panel, which contains all supported keybindings.

This awesome project really could use better documentation / quick-start guide...

I took a long look at the "docs" but I did not find them helpful at all [1]

Even figuring out that you can press `?` to open the help panel took me way to long to figure out because it is not referenced in any obvious way.

Yeah, it's possible that as a developer, I may not always promptly identify issues in the docs because the program tends to run "as usual" based on my ingrained thought processes...

I would be more than willing to stand on the user's side and continually improve the docs. If you would be interested in creating a quick guide for Yazi that would be great if it's possible :)

I was on the same situation and almost gave up using yazi, but I found a keymap configuration preset file here: https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/blob/main/config/preset/keyma... that shows how to use most features and their respective key binding. Hope it helps!
