#### PLUGINS
`nnn` can invoke plugins in the current directory (`$PWD` for the plugin) with the currently selected file name as the argument.
To extend the capabilities of `nnn`, plugins are introduced. Plugins are scripts which `nnn` can communicate with and trigger. This mechanism fits perfectly with the fundamental design to keep the core file manager lean and fast, by delegating repetitive (but not necessarily file manager-specific) tasks to the plugins.
Copy the [plugins](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/plugins) of your interest to `~/.config/nnn/plugins`.

TLDR: Use the keybind <kbd>K</kbd> to toggle selection if you are having issues with <kbd>^Y</kbd>.
By default in OpenBSD & FreeBSD (and probably on macOS as well), `stty` maps <kbd>^Y</kbd> to `DSUSP`. This means that typing <kbd>^Y</kbd> will suspend `nnn` as if you typed <kbd>^Z</kbd> (you can bring `nnn` back to the foreground by issuing `fg`) instead of entering multi-copy mode. You can check this with `stty -a`. If it includes the text `dsusp = ^Y`, issuing `stty dsusp undef` will disable this `DSUSP` and let `nnn` receive the <kbd>^Y</kbd> instead.
