Research direction

Start by reading the mini.starter and mini.icons module documentation and their existing item-handling entry points. Determine how filetype and action items are represented, then verify that mini.icons can provide icons for both item types without requiring manual specification.

Description

Hey, I have been integrating more mini.nvim lately. mini.deps, mini.sessions and mini.starter been the latest.

While (as always) liking the minimal implementation of each plugin, I'm wondering if we could have mini.icons natively support mini.starters for various items:

  • filetype: which faciliate eye-balling the files
  • action items: less critical but good to have (we can otherwise specify manually)

Thanks for your consideration.
