Nice! I started using helix before vim and often I find the helix bindings more logical (like shift for the reverse action e.g. u for undo and U for redo). However often the vim bindings feel quicker (c-i-w vs m-i-w-c). Will definitely give it a go!
I've mapped U to .
Unhinged behavior
At first I liked the new bindings, but later realised the Vim bindings felt more reliable and dropped helix even though I really liked the editor itself. This might make me try it again. Thanks!
Cool! Let me know should you find anything missing. :)
Helix + vim => Helim => Helium?
Vim + helix => velix / vimix / vix / velimix?
Hmm, helium would‘ve been amazing, but that‘d be an SEO nightmare. My wife told me „velimix“ sounds like a kitchen appliance. Not sure if that’s a good thing haha…
I feel like helium works as well as helix. When I search Helix I don't get the editor but if I search Helix Editor I will get what I'm looking for.
When I search Helium editor I don't get any exact matches, but of course SEO is a dark and mystical art so your mileage may vary.
I would suggest Helvix or Helvim
Neither project allows to set keybindings by a simple json or yaml file? Yet, these are highly customizable editors! That's a surprise.
As someone that never really clicked with Vim, but has been enjoying Helix, I've been looking for the opposite: something that makes Neovim follow the selection-action paradigm, along with all of the Helix keybindings.
I feel the same way. I’ve been using helix for about a month now and really like its paradigm. But I’m missing some of the neovim features. And I’ve run into some lsp issues that I don’t think are present in neovim
Yeah. I hope as Helix grows more popular, our problems will solve themselves in both directions: where Helix can address them directly, and people start hacking Neovim to work more like it.
Out of curiosity: what issues with the LSP are you having and what distro do you run? I've found that most of my issues could be resolved by running Helix's health checks and making sure that the binaries needed by the LSP are available in $PATH.
Unfortunately, I did start having issues with Go where it seems like the LSP might be crashing and I've yet to resolve that one for myself.
I love you. That's exactly what I was looking for. Long live Hevilix !
Thank you! \o/
I just published evil-helix-bin to the AUR, for those of you who Use Arch Btw. :)
