ya pkg add ndtoan96/ouch

# Linux/macOS

# Windows with cmd
git clone https://github.com/ndtoan96/ouch.yazi.git %AppData%\yazi\config\plugins\ouch.yazi

# Windows with powershell
git clone https://github.com/ndtoan96/ouch.yazi.git "$($env:APPDATA)\yazi\config\plugins\ouch.yazi"

Make sure you have ouch installed and in your PATH.

For archive preview, add this to your yazi.toml:

[[plugin.prepend_previewers]]
mime = "application/{*zip,tar,bzip2,7z*,rar,xz,zstd,java-archive}"
run  = "ouch"

Now go to an archive on Yazi, you should see the archive's content in the preview pane. You can use J and K to roll up and down the preview.

Previews can be customized by adding extra arguments in the run string:

[plugin]
prepend_previewers = [
	# Change the top-level archive icon
	{ ..., run = "ouch --archive-icon='🗄️ '" },
	# Or remove it by setting it to ''
	{ ..., run = "ouch --archive-icon=''" },

	# Enable file icons
	{ ..., run = "ouch --show-file-icons" },

	# Disable tree view
	{ ..., run = "ouch --list-view" },

	# These can be combined
	{ ..., run = "ouch --archive-icon='🗄️ ' --show-file-icons --list-view" },
]

For compression, add this to your keymap.toml:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = ["C"]
run = "plugin ouch"
desc = "Compress with ouch"

The plugin uses zip format by default. You can change the format when you name the output file, ouch will detect format based on file extension.

And, for example, if you would like to set 7z as default format, you can use plugin ouch 7z.

This plugin does not provide a decompression feature because it already is supported by Yazi. To decompress with ouch, configure the opener in yazi.toml.

[opener]
extract = [
	{ run = 'ouch d -y %*', desc = "Extract here with ouch", for = "windows" },
	{ run = 'ouch d -y "$@"', desc = "Extract here with ouch", for = "unix" },
]
