How to open yazi at a specific directory?

[moshpirit]

I am a kickstart nvim user, I use it because it was I saw people recommend for newbies like me, that means I often move to my nvim config directory (~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/). I would like to create a keymap to open yazi directly at this directory, but I don't know how (if that's even possible). Right now I keep it as a yazi quick go-to directory with gn, but I would prefer to be able to open that directly.

So far I got this working, but it changes the working directory: nmap('<leader>yn', '<Cmd>lcd ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/ | Yazi<CR>', '[Y]azi [n]vim directory')

Hi, this is possible by using the lua api. Maybe something like:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>yl", function ()
  require("yazi").yazi({}, "/my/path")
end)

Thanks a lot! It works great!

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>yn', function()
  require('yazi').yazi({}, '~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/')
end, { desc = '[Y]azi [n]vim directory' })
