Edit buffer while keeping Helm results open


Is it possible to visit a buffer from the result list of Helm while keeping the Helm buffer open? Or is there some other way of achieving the same effect?

I often need to do tasks that involve searching some files, and visit each of them, but the way it works now I have to redo the search everytime I'm done visiting a buffer.

EDIT: FWIW, if using spacemacs, SPC r l is bound to helm-resume


Solution

  • You can revive the last Helm session with the helm-resume command (bound by default to Ctrl-x c b). This should effectively achieve what you want.

    You can also save the search results to a buffer with Ctrl-x Ctrl-s.
