Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

Hi, I would like to request a feature to display the current disk or volume's free space in Yazi's status bar. Like Ranger.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

Checklist

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature

[github-actions]

Hey @CHANTXU64, I noticed that you did not correctly follow the issue template. Please ensure that:

• The requested feature does not exist in the newest nightly build.
• The debug information (yazi --debug) is updated for the newest nightly.
• The non-optional items in the checklist are checked.

Issues with needs info will be marked ready once edited with the proper content, or closed after 2 days of inactivity.

I do miss this feature. It is widely available in other file managers and I wish Yazi also had that.

[MephresGH]

Such a feature would be great to have, even if it's just an optional one. This would make Yazi a very cozy alternative to Ranger for sure.

i figured out this can be done with some code in init.lua, just like Show user/group of files in status bar.
this is what i use:

-- show disk in status bar
Status:children_add(function()
    local command = "df -kh .|awk '!/^Filesystem/{printf \" %s FREE \", $(NF-2)}'"
    local info = ui.Span(io.popen(command):read('*a')):fg("green")
    return info
end, 1500, Header.RIGHT)

macos's coreutils is diffrent from gnu's so you might need to install the gnu version or adjust that command line.

[MephresGH]

Huh, I didn't know you could do that. Very nice, thank you!
