Ah, I see. Would this come at a performance cost? (My only experience with GUI editors is VSCode, which feels sluggish compared to Helix.)

- dcre 2y agoNot necessarily. Zed is designed to be very fast. Worth looking into. https://zed.dev/ https://zed.dev/ Both VS Code and Zed have pretty comprehensive (and in the case of VS Code, widely used) Vim modes, so it would really be quite a lot like that.
- lsllc 2y ago+1 for Zed [running in vim mode]. It has best-in-class tree-sitter and LSP support (not unsurprising since Max Brunsfeld of tree-sitter fame is one of the founders).
- zokier 2y agoArguably native drawing should be faster than going through terminal subsystem, all other things being equal.
- p9fus 2y agoif anything GUI's should be significantly faster (well, I say significantly, but a well optimized GUI app and a well optimized Terminal + TUI app would probably have near imperceptible latency today anyways)
