Open a clipboard path in Helix

Copy an existing file or directory path, then run:

hxc            # open the clipboard path
hxc 42         # open at line 42
hxc 42 7       # open at line 42, column 7

hxcb, hxb, and the original xcb command work the same way. Paths copied from Explorer or as text, including paths with spaces, are supported. Helix (hx) must be available on PATH.

Key-combo search

quick.query.psm1 translates Kanata-style keybindings for common editors and shells.

ConvertTo-KeyComboText 'C-S-p'               # Ctrl+Shift+p (PowerShell style)
ConvertTo-KeyComboText 'c-l m-l'             # Ctrl+l Win+l
ConvertTo-KeyComboText 'c-w c-p' -Pipe       # ctrl+w ctrl+p
ConvertTo-KeyComboText 'C-M-A-S-kp1' -Style Kanata
ConvertTo-KeyComboText 'C-M-A-S-kp1' -Table # translation table
rgj "$(cq 'c-w c-p' -Style Search)"        # regex-safe note search
Search-KeyComboNotes 'c-w c-p'              # same search as a command
Get-KeyComboDictionary | Format-Table
Find-PSReadLineKeyBinding 'Ctrl+h'
Find-PSReadLineKeyBinding 'Ctrl+h' -Exact

The default output is PSReadLine-compatible. Plus/Pipe emits lowercase ctrl+meta+alt+shift+...; Search escapes plus signs for rgj. Pressing Ctrl+S on a line beginning with cq or ConvertTo-KeyComboText expands it to rgj "$(... -Style Search)" as editable command text.
