The panics would occur because set_style would draw outside of the the surface. Both occured using `find_prev` or `till_prev` In my case the first panic! would appear in a terminal with around 80 columns in helix/README.md going to the end of the file with `geglf(` the second with `geglfX` The off by one fix ensures that `find_nth_prev` starts at the first character to the left |

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.
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.
Installation
Note: Only Rust and Golang have indentation definitions at the moment.
We provide packaging for various distributions, but here's a quick method to build from source.
git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules -j8 https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term
This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin.
Now copy the runtime/ directory somewhere. Helix will by default look for the
runtime inside the same folder as the executable, but that can be overriden via
the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.
NOTE: You should set this to /runtime in development (if running via cargo).
If you want to embed the runtime/ directory into the Helix binary you can build
it with:
cargo install --path helix-term --features "embed_runtime"
Arch Linux
There are two packages available from AUR:
helix-bin: contains prebuilt binary from GitHub releaseshelix-git: builds the master branch of this repository
MacOS
Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew via:
brew tap helix-editor/helix
brew install helix
Contributing
Contributors are very welcome! No contribution is too small and all contributions are valued.
Some suggestions to get started:
- You can look at the good first issue label on the issue tracker.
- Help with packaging on various distributions needed!
- If your preferred language is missing, integrating a tree-sitter grammar for it and defining syntax highlight queries for it is straight forward and doesn't require much knowledge of the internals.
We provide an architecture.md that should give you a good overview of the internals.
Usage
