Question

Hi echasnovski!
Is it possible to create mappings in any way with mini.ai's treesitter spec to work like the following plugin below
https://github.com/aaronik/treewalker.nvim

Basically to sum up the functionality of this plugin, we can move up and down the tree and swap nodes.

I also had one more question on git utilities.
I wanted to know if we can use mini.diff with MiniExtra.pick_hunk and stage the selected hunks in any way.

'mini.ai' is about textobjects, not movements or swaps. The best it can do here is to define specific textobjects with gen_spec.treesitter() and use g[ and g] to go to the edge of current a textobject. You can also create custom mappings with move_cursor() to move with "next" or "last" search method to go to next or last textobject.

Swapping can be achieved with exchange operator from 'mini.operators'.

Please ask unrelated questions in separate discussions. That way they can be labeled properly for easier future search.

There is no MiniExtra.pick_hunk, there is a MiniExtra.pickers.git_hunks. It indicates that it is separate from 'mini.diff', as the latter is more general which comes at a cost of having a "apply"/"stage" action be tailored specifically to its "git" source.

In general, pickers are designed to list items and perform a single action on them (i.e. choose). In case of git hunks this action is navigation. Making either custom or "choose" action to staging hunks is possible (I think there is some example on the internet), but is out of scope for MiniExtra.pickers.git_hunks. Also note that it would require updating Git hunk items as staging them would change their status.
