pi-visual-line-nav

Visual-line-aware Home/End navigation + prompt stash for Pi.

Install

pi install npm:pi-visual-line-nav

Features

Home / End — visual line navigation

Repeated Home presses step through wrapped visual lines, not logical lines:

1. Mid-line → start of current visual line
2. Already at start → start of previous visual line
3. Already at start of that → start of the one before it
4. …

End mirrors this in the opposite direction.

This matches the behaviour of Claude Code and most modern editors.

Ctrl+S — prompt stash

Start typing a prompt, realise you need to ask something else first?

1. Ctrl+S — stashes your current input and clears the editor
2. Type and submit your other prompt
3. The stashed text is automatically restored to the input

Stackable — stash multiple prompts if you keep interrupting yourself.

How it works

The extension overrides Pi's CustomEditor and intercepts the tui.editor.cursorLineStart / tui.editor.cursorLineEnd keybindings before the base Editor handles them (which always jumps to logical line boundaries). It uses Pi's private visual-line-map APIs to calculate wrapped-line positions.

Configuration

The extension provides behaviour, not key assignments. Your existing ~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json bindings for cursorLineStart and cursorLineEnd (default: Home / Ctrl+A and End / Ctrl+E) continue to work.

Ctrl+S is hardcoded in the extension (there's no Pi keybinding ID for it).
