quick jump to bookmarks in counsel-find-file?

[zeltak]

Hi

i thought it would be cool to have an option in counsel-find-file to quick jump to either the emacs bookmarks or per-defined bookmarks (maybe from a hydra?). is that possible in anyway? if not what do you think of the idea?

thx alot!

This can be configured in a user config:

(ivy-set-actions
 'counsel-find-file
 '(("j" find-file-other-window "other window")
   ("b" (lambda (_) (interactive) (counsel-bookmark)) "bookmark")))

Press M-o b to get completion for bookmarks. I don't think it's useful to have the above code in this repository.

thx for the quick reply abo-abo!

i think i may have not explained particularly well :)

what i would want is not to launch the bookmarked file/dired buffer from within the counsel-find-file session (which works well with the code you showed above) but to change the current counsel-find-file path to a bookmarked path/predefined path.

For example when i launch counsel-find-file at ~/Downloads but want to open a file at /media/NAS/folder1/folder2/subfolfer2/ i need to traverse the whole file system. if i could within counsel-find-file quick jump to /media/NAS/folder1/folder2/subfolfer2/ in a few key stokes i think that could be cool. Does that make any sense :) perhaps there is already a clever way to do so?

best

Please test. The new key binding is M-o b. Offers you the directories of bookmarks and recentf.
