However, when I try any of the following:

      yaziPlugins = {
        enable = true;
        plugins = {
          exifaudio.enable = true;
          mactag.enable = true;
          miller.enable = true;
          no-status.enable = true;
        };
      };

I get an error that there is no such attribute as exifaudio, mactag, miller, or no-status provided under programs.yazi.yaziPlugins.plugins.

Ah, I see.
With nix search github:lordkekz/nix-yazi-plugins ^, you're listing all the plugin packages. And in your config, you are trying to use home-manager options. But we don't have home-manager options for every plugin that is packaged.

We used to package a bunch of plugins in this flake, but since the yaziPlugins package set was added in nixpkgs, we decided to remove those derivations from our flake and instead passthrough all the plugins from nixpkgs and only add some that aren't yet in nixpkgs upstream. So when nixpkgs adds a plugin, it'll appear in the output of nix search github:lordkekz/nix-yazi-plugins ^ but there may not be a home-manager module for it.

For now, you can still use the packages use the upstream home-manager option:

programs.yazi.plugins = with pkgs.yaziPlugins; {
  inherit exifaudio mactag miller no-status;
};

Note that this will not add runtime dependencies or require the plugins in Yazi's init.lua. Some plugins will work just by adding the package, but others need the aforementioned extra steps which we usually do with our home-manager options.

Reopening to track the progress of actually adding the missing home-manager modules, at least as stubs.
