Seeing this right now single-handedly turned me off from the project. Of all the possible (and more plausible) conclusions that the maintainer could have had, they deduced it to be political (which is arguable) and immediately became extrem

There's already a plugin for it: https://github.com/mattwparas/helix-config/blob/master/cogs/...

Configuration with scheme looks like it would be pretty similar. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/10441

Steel can load cdylibs (this is used for the integrated terminal POC plugin I think) so Rust plugins are already possible with that PR.

Different needs/requirements. If there is demand for something then someone will eventually become the supplier.

I think the xz disaster would be a reason why Wasm-based plugins would be bad. People would be forced to use plugins written in a language they may not know and would not be able to audit for themselves.

From a developer perspective, Zed's licensing prevents it from being used/inspected outside of the context of other GPL projects. For example, Helix can't use nor read any of the code in Zed because it would pollute the licen

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

America (and really any other non-authoritarian state) is better because it allows change. Doesn't matter where we are now. What matters is that we can change it and that the systems that exist reasonably protect that ability.

It's a green flag for me when services do this because it shows that they are taking an ethical approach to what they are providing. Too many companies throw ethics out the window and punt the responsibility to the end-user. Misinforma

Rune is not mature and is developed by a handful of people. Please check the thread I linked, literally everything you could say has already been addressed. Saying "X is better than Y" or "Why not Z?" is not constructive

FWIW, the plugin system is supposed to have sandboxing as well.

A. Sure, but it isn't sufficiently beneficial for the cost. B. WebAssembly is immature for developing a plugin system because of the lack of a sufficient ABI: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model C. Ther

I saw your comment on the thread. A. Most WebAssembly implementations are bigger than Helix itself. B. WebAssembly is immature. C. Lisp is perfectly fine. Even if you don't like it, it's not the end of the world if you have to use

It's still planned. That particular implementation just wasn't desirable.

by bobbyskelton41 3y ago
See https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1970 but yeah, other editors do the same thing as Helix here.

Only case I could reasonably see an argument for is on low-end systems, but Helix isn't targeting that anyway.

`space-?` brings up the command palette in Helix.

There is a working prototype (that's gone as far as implementing a vim-dirvish picker): https://github.com/mattwparas/helix/tree/mwp-steel-integrati... The maintainers are collaborating with the dev and

It could be better for sure, but that function has been there for almost as long as the project has been open-source if I recall correctly. It probably hasn't been touched since then because it wasn't a high priority.

Ad hominem attack aside... it was chosen because they didn't see a realistic need for more than 8 spaces. Nobody has openly complained in the past 2 years Helix has been around until now, so they were at least mostly right.

You need to enable true-color in your tmux config.

by bobbyskelton41 4y ago
I wouldn't say so. It's taken so long because it hasn't been a priority for the developers, and nobody else picked it up.

You can do vged. Currently ge takes you to the last line, but there is a change planned to take you to the absolute end.

I would say they're pretty encouraging. There's a straightforward path to implement it, and some work is being done on that front.

It sticks with the MSRV of Firefox, which is currently 1.61.

It's basic economics: gains from trade. It's more expensive to be entirely self-reliant.
