Describe the question

I want a keyboard shortcut somewhere to be able to open my mp4 files, when I want, with VLC player. Default in my OS (Linux Mint Cinnamon) is SMPlayer. The default for Yazi is mpv. I tryed something in my setup files, created by me (in /home/jecali/.config/yazi keymap.toml and yazi.toml) and nothing works. The only thing that works is run vlc -- $YAZI_SELECTED_FILE in : yazi. How can I create a shortcut in yazi to run that command?

Anything else?

Very nice file manager!!! If it had a dual pane option, that will be great.
