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
}

lfp

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

lfp

worked for me

Yep, thanks, worked for me too on linux

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
}

lfp

Is there a way to set the current working directory with this as well?

i just installed lf for the first time. Looks cool. but how do we set/use keymaps? I notice v selects everything; ENTER gives me a message that it is not mapped. Should this be in ~/.config/lf? What is the basic requirement to get this working?

does this work with yazi?

I got this message in ubuntu:

Open file failed: IrregularFile

----------------

no last modified buffer

How can I fix this?!
