There's a fair bit of discussion about this here: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/4037
But the short answer is no. Not yet.
I'm pretty happy just letting the standalone agent write to the file and then reloading it in my editor.
Though I wish the agent CLI tools would use something like inotify to notice when I've made a manual change to the file and then do a better job of incorporating that change as feedback to inform future edits.

> You get the list of filenames in your editor – edit them as you like, save, exit, and it renames the files. It uses whatever editor is set in your $EDITOR env var, so it doesn’t have to be vi/vim.
I'm not sure how "powerful" vidir is, but I recently found this functionality in yazi [1] and it became one of those "you think you don't need it until you try it" features

I'm using spotify_player[0]. It is pretty bare-bones but honestly, what do you need? I got album art, a progress bar, and can search and go to my library
Note that if you google you will probably get spotify-tui[1] which DOES NOT work

side note: man... I really wish I had the time to write or rewrite some TUIs. I'm sure I'm not the only one... Problem with a lot of open source is that they're side projects. I'd imagine there could be state of things could be a lot better if some small org just paid a few engineers to make and maintain a few of them.
