Helix save cursor position workaround

Script that we call from helix and it stores the current line (hxsaveline):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brontosaurusrex/bucentaur/refs/heads/master/.experiments/bin/hxsaveline

Entry in your config.toml that binds ctrl+w to save current line via hxsaveline script (under [keys.normal]):

"C-w" = ":sh hxsaveline %{buffer_name} %{cursor_line}"

Wrapper that will read the stored line and open helix (hxw):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brontosaurusrex/bucentaur/refs/heads/master/.experiments/bin/hxw

so you open your file as

hxw yourfile

and it should open with cursor on stored line.

How about just reading and displaying stored line inside helix, this script (hxloadline):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brontosaurusrex/bucentaur/refs/heads/master/.experiments/bin/hxloadline

and in your config.toml (under [keys.normal])

"C-g" = ":sh hxloadline %{buffer_name}"

will just print stored line number and do nothing else, but one can 18gg.

This is experimental workaround that will not work in all conditions and ‘should’ really be a core editor feature imho.
