Is there any way to trigger multiple ya.manager_emit commands sequentially.

Describe the question

Hi,

I'm currently working on this plugin, pref-by-location.yazi, which sets the show_hidden state based on the folder.

I'm facing an issue when a user presses h to go back to the parent directory (which has show_hidden = true) from a dot folder (which has show_hidden = false). For example, navigating from /home/user/.config/ to /home/user/.

My problem is that I can't force Yazi to hover over the /home/user/.config/ folder using the code below:

-- Trigger this in `cd` and `load` dds event. when cwd == `/home/user/`
ya.manager_emit("hidden", { "show", tab = cx.active.id })
-- Force hover to that .dot folder
ya.manager_emit("hover", { "/home/user/.config", tab = cx.active.id })

I understand that ya.manager_emit doesn't wait for the executor to complete, so I'm wondering if there's a way to run hidden and hover sequentially?
Something like:

ya.manager_emits({
{
  "hidden",
  { "show", tab = cx.active.id },
},
{ -- This will wait until hidden cmd is done
  "hover",
  { "/home/user/.config", tab = cx.active.id }
}
})

Anything else?

Here is what happend:

Try:

local wait = ya.sync(function() end)

ya.manager_emit("hidden", { "show", tab = cx.active.id })
wait()
ya.manager_emit("hover", { "/home/user/.config", tab = cx.active.id })

No luck. Both commands are actually running in the ya.sync function.

[boydaihungst]

Oh I think I find a way.

Put ya.manager_emit("hover"...) in entry function and then call it with ya.manager_emit("plugin"...) instead. xD

[sxyazi]

That's a bit hacky, will see if I can turn hidden into a sync command
