# RULE: a results buffer is a list of things you can RUN, and its traits say # which verb runs them. Every list before this one held LOCATIONS, so stepping # a row with n/N Looks it. `SPC t t` (ThemeSel) opens the first one whose rows # are COMMANDS — `Theme `, exactly the line you would type — so n/N Exec # each row instead. Walking the list therefore wears the themes as you pass # them, and picking one is stopping on it: there is no preview state, nothing # to confirm and nothing to cancel, because arriving already did it. # # Both halves of the ring are in the buffer: the three pardes ships with come # first (helix, dark, acme), then everything tools/gen_themes.zig exported from # the vendored helix .toml and zed .json files, sorted. The colors below are # read with snapstyle, so this proves the generated themes are real data and # not just names in a list. lines t.txt 40 start 30 100 t.txt wait 8000 t.txt stable 700 20000 snap boot # SPC t t: the list lands below the pane that asked, focus stays HERE — n/N are # read in this pane and they step the buffer they just armed. key space t t wait 10000 Theme helix stable 700 15000 snap list # n selects row 1 and runs it: `Theme helix`, which is already the boot theme, # so only the selection moves.
