I am excited to try Helix. I was a vim user many years ago, but not a superuser. Neovim caught my eye for a while, but I felt like I should stay with vim or vi even to be able to jump on any system and work with modal editing tools. I loved emacs, but found myself playing with it more than using it as a text editor or simple IDE. This looks great for me, and fits in with my learning Rust too. Unfortunately the release build for Windows throws a panic, and so does a new build on my machine. I put in an issue on Github, because I wasn't competent enough in Rust or Helix to know what the issue was other than an array length violation or mismatch.
thread 'main' panicked at 'index out of bounds: the len is 3451 but the index is 3451', helix-tui\src\buffer.rs:185:14 stack
- eggy 5y agoThe issue was addressed very quickly, and I was able to try Helix out. I love it! However, some modes are not working (LSP?), and it crashes when I am using it. I can pull up file view, but I am not sure how to jump up a directory. I think I will put it on the backburner and either look at the code myself, or wait until the bugs are worked out for Windows 10. I really like it though. Changing colors would be cool too.
