This project looks amazing, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to give up Copilot for a better editor. But I'll keep this on my radar.

- notnmeyer 3y agoyeah, the lack of a plugin ecosystem and consequently, copilot support, is the hardest pill to swallow with Helix right now. that said, its an amazing editor. excluding the plugin stuff, its batteries-included and is so refreshing to not have to mess with configuration files just to get it to a useable state.
- TylerE 3y agoMaybe it's just me, but a TUI-only editor is a non-starter for me, for a number of reasons, first being that my terminals are set up for maximum readability for shorter sessions, not eye comfort over hours.
- aae42 3y agoWhat about setting up a dedicated terminal for your editor? I think a GUI version is in the works, but that's probably what it will end up as. My editor stack has been Zellij, Helix and gitui as of late, and, there's still a few important things missing for me, but still working on it...
- TylerE 3y agoI have other reasons… I a lot of searching across field and work in huge monolith with tens of thousand of files.
- notnmeyer 3y agoexploring large codebases is hard in tui editors for me too. there are certainly times when i switch to vscode when i’m working in a monorepo for the graphical file tree.
- haarts 3y agoSame setup as me! I do miss out on the AI integrations (copilot etc), that I find a shame.
