I use bat to preview.

but the yml is long . so,lf cannot show line in the end

so,how can scroll preview in preview column

Hi, from what I know about this, the preview is just to give an idea about the file content, it should not be used with the idea of scrolling within it. For batcat, I have this line in my previewer (I copied it from a video): batcat --color=always --style=plain --pager=never "$1" "$@"

Of course, if there's someone more expert about this that can correct me, it's very welcome 🙂

I use your command, it not display

It seems that you have bat instead of batcat like I do. You should probably change batcat to bat in the line you copied.

This is how my preview script looks like:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    *.png|*.jpg|*.jpeg|*gif) catimg -w 100 "$1";;
    *.pdf) pdftotext "$1" -;;
    *.zip) zipinfo "$1";;
    *.tar.gz) tar -ztvf "$1";;
    *.tar.bz2) tar -jtvf "$1";;
    *.tar) tar -tvf "$1";;
    *) batcat --color=always --style=plain --pager=never "$1" "$@";;
esac

(The last line is the one that implements batcat as the default for various kind of text files) Yours seems a bit more complicated. I hadn't use a pager, because I always thought that they aren't supported in terminal file managers

With ranger you can scroll the preview with the mouse, it would be awesome if lf could do the same! :)
