Use "helm find file" instead of "helm completion at point" #22

Closed fbob closed 3 years ago

fbob commented 4 years ago

I'm using helm on spacemacs. Is it possible to use helm find file at point instead of helm completion at point when using ls or cd commands at the prompt ?
helm find file at point is used for me when I want to open a file or directory with RET when arrowing up to it. The helm find file at point is much more user friendly.

I think this might be because arrowing up and hitting RET on a file will run find-file-at-point (with is part of shx's keybindings). I think helm advises that function but I'm not sure (ivy user here 😁).

But TAB-completing at the prompt when typing cd or ls is probably coming from company-mode or similar -- shx has no keybinding to cover TAB at the moment at least.

Ok many thanks for the advice, I will look in that direction :) ... and congratulations for shx it is very useful, thank you !
