hx-pin [WIP]

A Helix plugin for pinning files.

Features

• Pinned files are persisted locally and opened at startup.
• Allows for switching between pinned files using configured shortcuts or a custom picker.

File picker bindings

• Move up the list using k
• Move down the list using j
• Reordering is possible using ( and ).
• Unpinning a file is possible through D.

Install

forge pkg install --git https://github.com/piotrkwarcinski/hx-pin.git

Example of configuration in init.scm

(require (prefix-in pin. "hx-pin/pin.scm"))

(when (equal? (command-line) '("hx"))
  (pin.pin-open-pinned))

(keymap (global)
        (normal
          (space (space ":pin.pin-open-selector")
               (n ":pin.pin-add")
               ("0" ":pin.pin-goto 0")
               ("1" ":pin.pin-goto 1")
               ("2" ":pin.pin-goto 2")
               ("3" ":pin.pin-goto 3")
               ("4" ":pin.pin-goto 4")
               ("5" ":pin.pin-goto 5")
               (N ":pin.pin-refresh")
               (O ":pin.pin-close-others"))))

Tips

• You can use the plugin to reorder your pinned buffers, but all other opened buffers are going to be closed during the process.
