* Adds tutorial sections for multiple areas including:
- Changing selections to uppercase / lowercase
- yanking and pasting
- macros
- selecting to chars with t and f
PS: I got kind of carried away and put off commiting for a while,
will commit to commit more often in the future.
* Changed section titles to all uppercase
* Added recap and section about jumplist
* Added sections for searching in file, joining lines and indenting lines.
* Removed some trailing whitespace
* Evened out the space between sections to all be 5 lines
* Add section on opening lines (o) and recap
* Changed the amount of lines between sections
This is so that - on a 24 line terminal -
only one section is visible at a time and
page up/page down goes straight to the next
section keeping the header at the top.
* Punctuation error

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.toml.
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
hx --grammar fetch
hx --grammar build
This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin and build tree-sitter grammars.
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 | xcopy runtime %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
