This command "yay -S pamac-aur" and audio widget issue

I am a newbie to Linux switching over from windows and started off with mint and now on arch. I was wondering with this command when I run it to install this 'yay' package I am presented with 4 different options 2 times " [A]ll [Ab]ort I nstalled [N]otInstalled " (can not put the I in [] because I get an error) and I press 'A' both times without encountering the thing I am confused about. After press 'A' the second times and pressing enter a whole bunch of green lines of code appear in the terminal with a + in front of them. After them there is a line with only a colon and I do not know what to type here. when I press enter another green line with a + appears. Can someone please tell me what to type after the colon in this types of commands. Thanks.

Audio widget issue
I am using kde as my DisplayManager and at the panel (taskbar) when I try to add the audio volume widget nothing happens (nothing happens when I click on it) but when I click another widget, they are added to my panel (taskbar). Can someone please help me. Thanks

One question per topic please, start another thread for the audio issue..

I advise to remove yay and not use an unsupported gui like pamac-aur until you understand how pacman/makepkg and aur packages work.

Start with reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository .
