Have been using this instead of vim for a month now.
It's incredible. No messing with plugins and archaic config files. All works out of the box, including LSP integration. Highly customizable still. Extremely fast, too.
I love "space-k" (Show docs for item under cursor).
The one thing I'm still struggling with is the kakoune-like movements. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but they do feel inferior to vim's.
- adam_ung 5y agoIn Vim you can also hit Shift-k to open docs (I usually use it for manual pages).
- skavi 5y agoIn this case, space k will open a popup with docs/definitions provided by the language server.
- skavi 5y agowhat kind of motions are you missing? I prefer helix to default vim, but miss the power of the amazing lightspeed.nvim plugin.
- archseer 5y agoThere's been some prototyping on easymotion type jumps: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1162 https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1162
- r-zip 5y agoI agree it's nice, but Helix's default LSP for Python is unusably slow, having used pyright with Vim/Emacs/VS Code. I tried setting up the pyright language server to work with Helix, but could not get it to work. It will be much more usable once there's better documentation.
