Dealing with multiple entries from the pickers of the Space mod

[dimus]

Helix provides a powerful Space mod, which allows to search for files Space->f, global patterns Space->/, buffers Space->b etc.

Quite often more than one result of the search is correct, for example when there is a need to do something with a globally searched string.
It would be very useful to save all such entries into a list, which allows to traverse them one by one.

For example in Neovim/Telescope such behavior is achieved by filtering entries in Telescope and, when the desired subset of them is achieved, using Ctrl-q to transfer these entries to the quickfix window. These entries than can be traversed up and down with ]q and [q "unimpaired" combinations.

I think such a feature would be very useful in many refactoring/editing scenarios.

The original idea for this came from a post by Auke Roorda in Helix chat.

Glad to hear others would find this useful. I have a really basic implementation of this that I've been using on this branch, but I haven't thought through what is left to implement. One thing that's missing is a way to view the list, and another is keeping the list entries correct as files are updated (not even sure where to start with this one).
