log is empty

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the problem got fixed?

Yes, and I updated the debug information above (yazi --debug) to the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

cx.active.selected is empty when there are items selected in visual mode.

Minimal reproducer

1. Running git clone https://github.com/TD-Sky/sudo.yazi.git ~/.config/yazi/plugins/sudo.yazi
2. Install nushell: cargo install nu or use your favorite package manager
3. add ya.dbg(#cx.active.selected) in ~/.config/yazi/plugins/sudo.yazi/init.lua:47`
4. Bind a key like:

   [[manager.keymap]]
   on = ["R", "d"]
   run = "plugin sudo --args='remove'"
   desc = "sudo trash"

5. Running yazi, selecting items in visual mode, run the command.
6. You will see only the hovered file get removed
7. The log will tell you #cx.active.selected equals 0

Anything else?

No response

This is expected behavior. For safety reasons, the visual mode is designed as a temporary selection state because there are cases where selection failures can occur due to nested selection conflicts:

yazi/yazi-core/src/tab/commands/escape.rs

Line 101 in cd7209c

pub fn try_escape_visual(&mut self) -> bool {

yazi/yazi-core/src/tab/commands/escape.rs

Lines 114 to 119 in cd7209c

	} else if self.selected.add_many(&urls, same) != urls.len() {
	AppProxy::notify_warn(
	"Escape visual mode",
	"Some files cannot be selected, due to path nesting conflict.",
	);
	return false;

If your plugin needs to support visual mode, simply send an escape command:

ya.manager_emit("escape", { visual = true })

Take a look at how the chmod.yazi plugin does it: https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/blob/main/chmod.yazi/init.lua#L14

Closing as it's expected
