I used to use this before I switched away from VSCode for greener pastures. It was far and away the best option for vim editing. It’s great because you can still make use of any neovim plugins you have without needing extra VSCode extensions.
- drew-y 4y agoWhat are your greener pastures?
- dcow 4y agohelix is pretty nice if you’re willing to challenge your traditional vim editing model. vim is action -> selection. helix is selection -> action. Beyond that helix feels like a modern vim. LSP natively supported. DAP as well. Very little configuration and bootstrapping to wade through.
- toastal 4y agoWhat does that shift in paradigm give you over Visual Mode in Vim?
- SoraNoTenshi 4y agoMy 2 cents to this as a helix user. 1. it's just nice to see your selection before u do any action. 2. There's not benefit to the new model, either you like it more or like it less, why does everything have to give a benefit? Maybe it's just about the preference. 3. Helix requires less than 50 Lines of TOML to configure, to me this is well worth it, as with neovim, i easily needed like ... 300 Lines of Lua code? Something like this.
