Need help in bringing together ace-window link-hint zk

[poulpoulsen]

Hello,
I want to bring together, what you described in
https://localauthor.github.io/posts/aw-select.html

Gould you please describe, how i should do it?

The packages for own are working (ace-window, link-hint, zk)

Regards
Poul

Certainly! It's a bit piecemeal, since it's not all together in one package but...

1. Download the following two files:

https://github.com/localauthor/.emacs.d/blob/main/my-lisp/link-hint-aw-select.el
https://github.com/localauthor/.emacs.d/blob/main/my-lisp/zk-link-hint.el

2. Put these files in a directory on your load-path.

3. Add this to your init.el file:

(require 'zk-link-hint)
(require 'link-hint-aw-select)

(with-eval-after-load 'link-hint-aw-select
  (link-hint-define-type 'zk-link
    :aw-select #'link-hint--aw-select-zk-link)
  (defun link-hint--aw-select-zk-link (id)
    (with-demoted-errors "%s"
      (if (> (length (aw-window-list)) 1)
          (let ((window (aw-select nil))
                (buffer (current-buffer))
                (new-buffer))
            (zk-follow-link-at-point id)
            (setq new-buffer
                  (current-buffer))
            (switch-to-buffer buffer)
            (aw-switch-to-window window)
            (switch-to-buffer new-buffer))
        (link-hint-open-link-at-point)))))

After that, you can call function link-hint-aw-select in the buffer where you want to use it. Bind it to a convenient keybinding!

Great! I'll leave this open then.
