Helix seems to be a great editor and your video helped me to realize it. The two parts did cover the basic use of Helix, but I found it very useful, maybe You should make another one covering some other, not basic functionalities. Congrats and thanks!
@@driden1987 thanks for the kind words. Just hope he keeps on making the Helix content 👍 appreciate watching it evolve. I’d still watch even if he had the Frozen soundtrack on it the background! 🤣
Which language? Every compiled language I've used this year has a language server with static analysis which will show these errors as diagnostics that you can jump to in helix with space-D / bracket-d. But that's before compiling.
How do you v/foo in hx? Visual select till match foo in search. I like the selection mode in hx and multicursor. The selection mode can immitated pretty well already in neovim using "cgn" but multicursor needs plugins. But I feel like it will take a few years to reach usability of neovim. Plugins and scripting language are a must. For example in neovim you can bind a key to launch a file manager like lf in the built-in terminal and then open files in the same instance of neovim using built-in server/client. Once you go lf you don't go back to shitty built-in file managers.
do to something like v/foo i figured vges( |.)foo vge to select till end of file s( |.)foo to match any characters including new lines and foo (you can also do [\s\S]* instead of ( |.) ) you can also do vgeSfoo, there S will split selection on word foo and comma will keep only primary selection difference between two that one with `s` will select including foo, and other will exclude foo
Fun times right now because all the development work is going into core while the plugin system is worked on. So we have an opportunity to influence an outstanding out-of-the-box experience. I hope the plugin support takes a while for this reason.
@@LukePighetti I kind of agree. I think all Vim, Neovim, and Helix are great. All of them are amazing and complementary editors, partially because they all have different goals. Vim - Minimalism. Simple Core. "Only what you really need" Neovim - Expandability. Configurable Core. "Add everything you need" Helix - Fully-Featured. Complete Core. "Everything you need" I kind of like that Helix is taking "Fully-Featured" approach, as it may prove very useful to have a 3 distinct options for the differenct niches in the modal editor market. We were kinda missing that last one (if you exclude pre-configs), so I'm pumped to see where helix goes.

Enjoyed seeing Helix in use. Perhaps personal preference but I think you and the content are engaging enough without the background music. 👍
I agree with Ben.
If you see this comment go check out Ben’s channel. It’s great !!

@@benfrainuk Hhaha imagine that, I would watch it too I think 😆
Awesome video! Thanks. Hx feels like a superposition of Vi+ Emacs+ VSCode.
I do not know if we deserve an editor this good.
The only thing i am missing is the treesitter support for Pug.
Get it working in languages.toml and make a PR on helix-editor/helix
What setting do you apply to make the cursor take the color of the text behind it?
Hey! You and I have very similar names -- and very similar tastes in text editors, it seems. I can't quite grow that awesome of a beard though
Helix 🥰
Thanks for the video. Were you able to setup a debugger with helix?
Thanks for the Video. Is it possible to start a compiling a file and jump to next compiler error with a key?

do to something like v/foo i figured
vges(
|.)foo
vge to select till end of file
s(
|.)foo to match any characters including new lines and foo (you can also do [\s\S]* instead of (
|.) )
you can also do
vgeSfoo,
there S will split selection on word foo and comma will keep only primary selection
difference between two that one with `s` will select including foo, and other will exclude foo
When i use "*" and then "n" selection goes to next appearance, but cursor do not added
Are you use custom keymap or something?
Understood, you entered extend mode through "v" key
as a neovim user: that's baller lol
when helix gets plugin support, I'll try it out

Is it possible to comment code in twig files, eg {# …. #} not // ?
what's the mnemonic for mim? I can't see it in the keymap
match inner... matching pair? lol
How do I Undo in the Helix editor?
