Claude Code "Integration" like Emacs

[gobijan]

This Claude Code integration is new for Emacs:

https://github.com/manzaltu/claude-code-ide.el

Would something like this be feasible for Helix too?

Its main features are:

• Active File Awareness
• Code Selection Context
• Advanced Diff View with Diagnostics
• Automatic Text Mentions
• Session Restoration

The plugin system would be needed to get shipped or could this be done via LSP?
Anyone got ideas how to better integrate the two?

I am able to create all that already within TMUX, but it's using the tmux internals. To read buffers file name, cursor positions, and send keys to Helix.

Now, without plugins or tmux, pragmatic approach as of today.

Active File Awareness

Using your own LSP server, you could retrieve the full file content, and cursor position.
You would have however to route your LSP server to each languages, as Helix can't route a LSP server to all languages without config. Issue left here: #2507 (comment)

Code Selection Context

This could be achieved only within tmux, as we need an IO api for Helix. It could be done via this PR that implements Unix sockets to control Helix. #13896

Advanced Diff View with Diagnostics

Someone opened an issue 4 years ago there, recently updated, it seems that they are receiving email since 4 years no problem. #405 (comment)

Automatic Text Mentions

It could be done via the LSP protocol. However, be aware that the thread is blocking, so using AI via the LSP is creating blocking issues. Issue left here: #14166 (comment)

Session Restoration

It require again Helix control, and it could be achieved only within tmux as of now. PR #1386 could solve this.

Good luck

I'm curious to know about your tmux setup!
