Describe the question

When I yank a file and paste it into another directory (or the same directory for that matter), I'd like to have the cursor move to the file I just pasted, preferably automatically but using a key to go there is also ok. This is particularly useful if the destination directory lots of files (hundreds).

• Is this already possible with config? I could not find any mention of it after searching online.
• Probably possible to do with a plugin? Any pointers appreciated on a recommended approach.

Anything else?

Hi, @boydaihungst made a plugin hover-after-moved.yazi that hovers the cursor over the target file after moving files - the plugin only resets the cursor for moving (cutting) files ATM, since copying is not exposed as a DDS event yet, and there's an open issue about it #2450.

Also, I plan to add built-in support for cursor resetting in the future, but need to consider more about the interaction e.g. what to do if the user's cursor has already moved during the cut/copy. This is being tracked in #51 as "Immediately place the cursor on the first file to be copied/moved when copying/moving files", so I'm going ahead and closing this as a duplicate

This is now supported in #3846 🎉🎉
