How to run shell command on selection

[NHOrus]

I kinda want to choose file in preview and run command on it (to set background).

Is there a way to paste copied file name into command input or a way to substitute current selection for part of command? FAQ is silent on that.

Sure, you can use the shell command, docs here https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/keymap/#shell

But only by binding the key, not with manual input of command. Okay, thank you.

Does ; and : work for you?
