This tiny package fixes two features in upstream Helm:

• Add a helm-switch-to-shell action which generalizes helm-ff-switch-to-shell for any REPL (SLIME, SLY, IELM, or add your own).
• Add this feature to helm-locate and other file related Helms.

Installation

Call helm-switch-to-repl-setup.

Usage

Fire up helm-find-files or other helm-type-file sources such as helm-locate, navigate to where you want, then call the Switch to REPL action bound to M-e by default.
