help needed: enabling org-cite/citar actions in visualized buffer #376

Closed oatmealm closed 2 years ago

oatmealm commented 2 years ago

Hi. Wondering if you might be able to help with this issue? https://github.com/bdarcus/citar/issues/445

The idea is to have citar's *-dwim actions (or org-cite) to work while in an org-brain buffer.

The screenshot is of embark action on a cite, which in org-mode buffers would offer some relevant action available for cites.

Just to clarify, citar runs its embark org-cite target finders in org derived modes only.

Is it practical for you to have this visualization mode derive from org?

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand the issue. I've tried citar, but not in combination with org-brain so far.

We figured out a workaround, which is just having @oatmealm add an entry to citar-major-mode-functions so that the at-point functions would run in the visualize buffers.

He was just having a problem because the citations were highlighted, but he couldn't access the embark menus from them, as he can in org proper.

On top of that, my issue was that while browsing the visualized buffer (I was planning to give a presentation using it) I'd like to open/follow a reference and go back to the visualized buffer when done, so I t seems to make sense to have citar at-point functions active/available for this purpose.

Happy to hear you managed to find a solution!
