## The [`mount.yazi`](https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/mount.yazi) Plugin

For a long time, I've been receiving requests from users for a mount manager, but never had the time to finish it. But now — it's here!

[`mount.yazi`](https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/mount.yazi) provides disk mount, unmount, and eject functionality:

## Simplification of `shell` and `plugin` commands

With https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2298, you can now write shell scripts directly after `--` (end of options marker). Everything after `--` will be treated as raw text, so no more escaping is required, greatly simplifying the writing of complex commands.

For example, previously, a simple `echo "hello 'world'"` would look like this:

```toml
[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = "<C-e>"
run = '''
  shell --block 'echo "hello '\''world'\''"'
'''
```

This resulted in nested quotes, which was error-prone and unintuitive.

Now, you can directly include the entire shell script as plain text after `--` without any escaping:

```toml
[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = "<C-e>"
run = '''
  shell --block -- echo "hello 'world'"
'''
```

Similarly, with https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2299, the `plugin` command usage has been simplified as well. For instance:

```toml
[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = "<C-e>"
run = "plugin search --args='\'hello world\''"
```

Can now be written as:

```toml
[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = "<C-e>"
run = "plugin search -- 'hello world'"
```

## Replace Mode and Vim Motions (`W`, `E`, `B`, `^`, `_`) for Inputs

The Input component now supports replace mode and several new Vim motions, including:

- `W`: Move forward to the start of the next WORD
- `E`: Move forward to the end of the current or next WORD
- `B`: Move back to the start of the current or previous WORD
- `^`: Move to the first non-whitespace character
- `_`: Move to the first non-whitespace character

Thanks to @dxrcy for the work in https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2143!

## Package Manager Enhancements

The package manager now supports the following new features:

- `ya pack -d` to delete a package (thanks @MrAsler, https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2181)
- Support for adding and removing multiple packages with a single command (thanks @evpeople, https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2257)

## Support Local `tmux` Image Preview Over SSH

Now, when you start tmux locally, connect to a remote SSH session, and run Yazi on the remote host, you'll get image preview support out of the box.

Done in https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2229.

## New `@since` Plugin Annotation to Specify the Minimum Supported Yazi Version

You can now **optionally** specify the minimum supported Yazi version in your plugin:

```lua
--- @since 25.2.7

return {
  entry = function() end
}
```

If specified, and the user's Yazi version is lower than the given version, they will receive an error message preventing the plugin from running accidentally.

Done in https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/2290

## New `ya.confirm()` API

The new `ya.confirm()` API allows you to show a confirmation prompt to the user:

```lua
local answer = ya.confirm {
  pos = { "center", w = 40, h = 10 },
  title = "Test",
  content = "Hello, World!",
}
```

You can also apply a UI element to the title and content to customize the appearance:

```lua
local answer = ya.confirm {
  pos = { "center", w = 40, h = 10 },
  title = ui.Line("Test"):fg("yellow"):bold(),
  content = ui.Text("Hello, World!"):bg("red"):fg("#ffffff"),
}
```
