rowelix

integrate rovr, wezterm and helix in a nice way

inspired by yazelix, go and check that out if you use yazi and zellij

this is a super basic implementation that makes use of rovr's currently alpha feature, modes

get started

requirements

this needs wezterm, rovr and helix installed obviously

currently, this supports only powershell, bash and nushell will be added if there is demand

wezterm setup

nothing for now, just install wezterm and make sure it works

rovr setup

go to your config.toml (found by running rovr --config-path) and add the following lines

[mode.helix]
"plugins.editor.file_executable" = "powershell -noni -nop -nol -c rovr-helix"
# -noi: no interactive
# -nop: no profile
# -nol: no logo
# -c: command to run
"plugins.editor.file_suspend" = false
# disable rovr hiding itself when opening a file
"plugins.editor.open_all_in_editor" = true
# open every file in the editor regardless of encoding
"interface.clock.enabled" = false
# hide clock
"interface.compact_mode.buttons" = true
# compact header buttons

optional rovr theme

go to your style.tcss and add the lines from https://github.com/NSPC911/rowelix/blob/main/style.tcss to your theme

this isn't necessary, but it makes the sidebar look especially nice

helix setup

add this to your config.toml, but use whatever keybind you want

[keys.normal]
A-f = ":sh wezterm cli split-pane --left --cells 26 --cwd %{current_working_directory} rovr --mode helix"

nothing for now, but i will see what i can do with --chooser-file in the future

script

save the following as rovr-helix.ps1 that is accessible via $PATH

$rightPaneId = wezterm cli get-pane-direction right
if (($rightPaneId).Length -eq 0) {
  $rightPaneId = wezterm cli split-pane --right --percent 75 --cwd (get-location | select -expand path) hx
  Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500
}
echo ":open $args" | wezterm cli send-text --pane-id $rightPaneId --no-paste
wezterm cli activate-pane --pane-id $rightPaneId

and thats it. you can start rovr with rovr --mode helix and everything should work as expected
