"Rewind" to a Previous Step

[johnlindquist]

Open back-to-previous-choices in Script Kit

// Name: Back to Previous Choices

import { Shortcut } from "@johnlindquist/kit"
import { backToMainShortcut } from "@johnlindquist/kit/core/utils"

let createBack = onPress => {
  return {
    name: "Back",
    key: "escape",
    bar: "left",
    onPress,
  } as Shortcut
}

let step1 = async () => {
  await arg(
    {
      placeholder: "One",
      shortcuts: [backToMainShortcut],
    },
    ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
  )
  await step2()
}

let step2 = async () => {
  await arg(
    {
      placeholder: "Two",
      shortcuts: [createBack(step1)],
    },
    ["Danish", "Evergreen", "Fauna"]
  )
  await step3()
}

let step3 = async () => {
  await arg(
    {
      placeholder: "Three",
      shortcuts: [createBack(step2)],
    },
    ["Ghost", "Happy", "Igloo"]
  )
}

await step1()

"Back" to a Script instead of a Step

let myScript = ()=> run("my-script")

This is not perfect but it's working fine for my use case for now 🤷‍♂️
