What 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.
- mplanchard 4y agoSwitched to emacs via doom emacs about three years ago and haven’t looked back! I was a big vim user back before VSCode, so I’m happy being back in my obscure editor hole.
