:documentation
" Specifies how to retrieve candidates from the source.
It can either be a variable name, a function called with no parameters
or the actual list of candidates.
Do NOT use this for asynchronous sources, use `candidates-process'
instead.
The list must be a list whose members are strings, symbols
or (DISPLAY . REAL) pairs.
In case of (DISPLAY . REAL) pairs, the DISPLAY string is shown
in the Helm buffer, but the REAL one is used as action
argument when the candidate is selected. This allows a more
readable presentation for candidates which would otherwise be,
for example, too long or have a common part shared with other
candidates which can be safely replaced with an abbreviated
string for display purposes.
Note that if the (DISPLAY . REAL) form is used then pattern
matching is done on the displayed string, not on the real
value.
This function, generally should not compute candidates according to
`helm-pattern' which defeat all the Helm's matching mechanism
i.e. multiple pattern matching and/or fuzzy matching.
If you want to do so, use :match-dynamic slot to be sure matching
occur only in :candidates function and there is no conflict with
other match functions.")

selected. The first action of the list is the default.
You should use `helm-make-actions' to build this alist easily.")
(persistent-action

:custom function
:documentation
" Can be a either a Function called with one parameter (the
selected candidate) or a cons cell where first element is this
same function and second element a symbol (e.g never-split)
that inform `helm-execute-persistent-action' to not split his
window to execute this persistent action.
Example:
(defun foo-persistent-action (candidate)
(do-something candidate))
:persistent-action \\='(foo-persistent-action . never-split) ; Don't split
or
:persistent-action \\='foo-persistent-action ; Split
When specifying :persistent-action by slot directly, foo-persistent-action
will be executed without quitting helm when hitting `C-j'.
Note that other persistent actions can be defined using other
bindings than `C-j' by simply defining an interactive function bound
to a key in the keymap source.
The function should create a new attribute in source before calling
`helm-execute-persistent-action' on this attribute.
Example:
(defun helm-ff-persistent-delete ()
\"Delete current candidate without quitting.\"
(interactive)
(with-helm-alive-p
(helm-set-attr \\='quick-delete \\='(helm-ff-quick-delete . never-split))
(helm-execute-persistent-action \\='quick-delete)))
This function is then bound in `helm-find-files-map'.")
(persistent-action-if
:initarg :persistent-action-if
:initform nil
:custom function
:documentation
" Similar from persistent action but it is a function that should
return an object suitable for persistent action when called , i.e. a
function or a cons cell.
Example:
(defun foo-persistent-action (candidate)
(cond (something
;; Don't split helm-window.
(cons (lambda (_ignore)
(do-something candidate))
\\='no-split))
;; Split helm-window.
(something-else
(lambda (_ignore)
(do-something-else candidate)))))
:persistent-action-if \\='foo-persistent-action
Here when hitting `C-j' one of the lambda's will be executed
depending on something or something-else condition, splitting or not
splitting as needed.
See `helm-find-files-persistent-action-if' definition as another example.")
