I found this reddit post which has a config to hide the header context of a inline src block. So, using the config, inline source like src_python{return 123}, becomes {return 123}. I customized it so that it automatically toggles the visibility between normal and insert modes in evil mode.
But this is a function which is a toggle for the entire buffer. Can I instead get similar functionality by customizing org-appear to hide & unhide the inline src headers whenever the cursor/point is on it?
(defvar org-inline-src-hidden nil
"Tracks whether inline source blocks and results are currently hidden.")
(defun org-toggle-inline-src-visibility ()
"Toggle visibility of inline source blocks and results in the buffer."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(if org-inline-src-hidden
;; Unhide inline source blocks and results
(progn
(remove-overlays (point-min) (point-max))
(setq org-inline-src-hidden nil)
(message "Inline source blocks and results are now visible."))
;; Hide inline source blocks and results
;; (while (re-search-forward "\\(src_[A-z-]+?{\\(.\\|\n\\)*?[^}]}\\)\\ ?\\({{{results(\\(.*\\))}}}\\)?" nil t)
(while (re-search-forward "\\(src_[A-z-].*\\)\\({\\(.\\|\n\\)*?}\\)" nil t)
(let ((start (match-beginning 0))
(end (match-end 0)))
;; Debugging: Show what the regex matched
(message "Hiding: %s" (buffer-substring-no-properties start end))
;; Apply overlay
(let ((ov (make-overlay start end)))
(overlay-put ov 'display (match-string 2)))
))
(setq org-inline-src-hidden t)
(message "Inline source blocks and results are now hidden.")))))
(org-appear-set-entities '(emphasis links subscripts (custom-entity . "\\(my-custom-pattern\\)"))). But I can't get it to work. I also don' see this mentioned in the documentation, so i'm assuming this is just AI hallucination.
