* feat(statusline): add the file type (language id) to the status line * refactor(statusline): move the statusline implementation into an own struct * refactor(statusline): split the statusline implementation into different functions * refactor(statusline): Append elements using a consistent API This is a preparation for the configurability which is about to be implemented. * refactor(statusline): implement render_diagnostics() This avoid cluttering the render() function and will simplify configurability. * feat(statusline): make the status line configurable * refactor(statusline): make clippy happy * refactor(statusline): avoid intermediate StatusLineObject Use a more functional approach to obtain render functions and write to the buffers, and avoid an intermediate StatusLineElement object. * fix(statusline): avoid rendering the left elements twice * refactor(statusline): make clippy happy again * refactor(statusline): rename `buffer` into `parts` * refactor(statusline): ensure the match is exhaustive * fix(statusline): avoid an overflow when calculating the maximal center width * chore(statusline): Describe the statusline configurability in the book * chore(statusline): Correct and add documentation * refactor(statusline): refactor some code following the code review Avoid very small helper functions for the diagnositcs and inline them instead. Rename the config field `status_line` to `statusline` to remain consistent with `bufferline`. * chore(statusline): adjust documentation following the config field refactoring * revert(statusline): revert regression introduced by c0a1870 * chore(statusline): slight adjustment in the configuration documentation * feat(statusline): integrate changes from #2676 after rebasing * refactor(statusline): remove the StatusLine struct Because none of the functions need `Self` and all of them are in an own file, there is no explicit need for the struct. * fix(statusline): restore the configurability of color modes The configuration was ignored after reintegrating the changes of #2676 in 8d28f95. * fix(statusline): remove the spinner padding * refactor(statusline): remove unnecessary format!() |

Helix
A kakoune / neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.
The editing model is very heavily based on kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of kakoune's design decisions.
For more information, see the website or documentation.
All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.
Features
- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter
It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer (similar to emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.
Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check
runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
Installation
Packages are available for various distributions (see Installation docs).
If you would like to build from source:
git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term
This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin and build tree-sitter grammars.
If you want to customize your languages.toml config,
tree-sitter grammars may be manually fetched and built with hx --grammar fetch and hx --grammar build.
Helix also needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the runtime/ directory into the
config directory (for example ~/.config/helix/runtime on Linux/macOS, or %AppData%/helix/runtime on Windows).
| OS | command |
|---|---|
| windows(cmd.exe) | xcopy runtime %AppData%/helix/runtime |
| windows(powershell) | xcopy runtime $Env:AppData\helix\runtime |
| linux/macos | ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime |
This location can be overridden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.
Packages already solve this for you by wrapping the hx binary with a wrapper
that sets the variable to the install dir.
NOTE: running via cargo also doesn't require setting explicit
HELIX_RUNTIMEpath, it will automatically detect theruntimedirectory in the project root.
In order to use LSP features like auto-complete, you will need to install the appropriate Language Server for a language.
MacOS
Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew via:
brew tap helix-editor/helix
brew install helix
