For those looking beyond Helix, Kakoune and Neovim, Vis is a lightweight and elegant option, worth a look.

  It looks interesting, but I'd put it more in the "simple, but simple != easy" category. Helix is built around showing you what will change before you commit the change which reduces the accidental change problem that vi, vim, neovim has. In the case of Vis' regex based commands, helix will let you do a regex based find, remove certain matches, then commit a regex replace.

    Is the “accidental change” really that much of a problem if you can undo with a single keypress?
    • spartanatreyu 1y ago
      Yes, since most accidental changes aren't noticed until well after they are made.
