## What it is
A Neovim plugin that integrates the yazi terminal file manager into Neovim by opening it in a floating window. It syncs file operations (rename, move, delete) with open buffers and LSP servers, and offers integrations with pickers like telescope.nvim and fzf-lua.

## Use cases
- open yazi file manager inside neovim in a floating window
- rename or delete files from a file manager and keep neovim buffers in sync
- replace netrw with a modern terminal file manager in neovim
- select files in yazi and open them as neovim splits or quickfix items
- grep search in the directory yazi is browsing from neovim
- manage yazi plugins and flavors from neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and prefer yazi as your file manager
- you want file operations in yazi to stay in sync with open buffers and LSP
- you want a netrw replacement with a floating-window file manager

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim or yazi
- you only need a simple built-in file explorer without external dependencies
- you use a different editor like VS Code or Vim without Lua support
