```toml
# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[keys.normal]
C-y = ":sh zellij run -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- bash ~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh"
C-y = ":sh zellij run -c -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- bash ~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh open"
```

Or if you also want to support splitting the pane, you can add more keymaps:

```toml
# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[keys.normal.C-y]
# Open the file(s) in the current window
y = ":sh zellij run -c -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- bash ~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh open"
# Open the file(s) in a vertical pane
v = ":sh zellij run -c -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- bash ~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh vsplit"
# Open the file(s) in a horizontal pane
h = ":sh zellij run -c -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- bash ~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh hsplit"
```

Then save the following script as `~/.config/helix/yazi-picker.sh`:

```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

op="$1"
paths=$(yazi --chooser-file=/dev/stdout | while read -r; do printf "%q " "$REPLY"; done)

if [[ -n "$paths" ]]; then
zellij action toggle-floating-panes
zellij action write 27 # send <Escape> key
zellij action write-chars ":open $paths"
zellij action write-chars ":$op $paths"
zellij action write 13 # send <Enter> key
else
zellij action toggle-floating-panes
fi

zellij action close-pane
```

Note: this uses a floating window, but you should also be able to open a new pane to the side, or in place. Review the Zellij documentation for more info.
