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.")

(defun foo-persistent-action (candidate)

: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))
