Helix – tree file picker... TODAY?!?

config.toml

[keys.normal]
C-f = [":new", ":insert-output lf-pick", ":theme default", "select_all", "split_selection_on_newline", "goto_file", "goto_last_modified_file", ":buffer-close!", ":theme tokyonight_storm"]

lf-pick

# touch ~/.local/bin/lf-pick
# chmod +x ~/.local/bin/lf-pick

function lfp(){
  local TEMP=$(mktemp)
  lf -selection-path=$TEMP
  cat $TEMP
}

Hei!
I really missed the functionality of open lf in the current directory. With helix itself seems impossibile to get the file path of the current buffer, but this guy is using wezterm to do that: https://quantonganh.com/2023/08/19/turn-helix-into-ide.md

Here what is working for me:

#!/bin/bash

function lfp(){
  status_line=$(wezterm cli get-text | rg -e "(?:NOR\s+|NORMAL|INS\s+|INSERT|SEL\s+|SELECT)\s+[\x{2800}-\x{28FF}]*\s+(\S*)\s[^│]* (\d+):*.*" -o --replace '$1 $2')
  filename=$(echo $status_line | awk '{ print $1}')
  local TEMP=$(mktemp)
  lf -selection-path=$TEMP $filename
  cat $TEMP
}
