Describe the question

Is there a way to open multiple selected files within the same application?

For example, imv support opening multiple files. But when using Yazi, it opens multiple imv instances instead of passing all files to the same imv command.

Anything else?

Use $@, for example:

yazi/yazi-config/preset/yazi-default.toml

Line 56 in 5058cf2

{ run = 'mpv --force-window "$@"', orphan = true, for = "unix" },

Thanks! It works perfectly.
