Helix <3

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

vanilla helix is so nice, the keybindings make so much more sense and it feels really comfortable

[-] serenissi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah hx. It was hx that finally made me use vi style navigation and now I choose vim over nano almost always.

[-] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago

I'm halfway between hx and vim, I vastly prefer the helix/kakoune philosophy of selection, then action over vim, but I'm dearly missing plug-in support for Helix

[-] lupec@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I was going to point to visual.nvim as a possible middle ground, but it's now archived :(

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested it myself

I'm just gonna be patient. Vanilla Helix is very much usable for everything I need it for at the moment, with built in LSP support, and plug-in support is on the horizon. Not sure when exactly, but it's gonna happen eventually

Yeah I'm with you there, vanilla helix meets basically 90% of my needs so I'm not in any real rush to change

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
