Author here. I listen to feedback, but it's hard to incorporate every possible requested feature without the codebase becoming an unmaintainable mess. We're a small team with limited time and I've always emphasized that helix

Both ZSTD and LZ4 were built by the same author. They have slightly different target goals: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23211804

There's this config you might like: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim We can't invert the bindings though (wd -> dw) because that would require a big internal change to add operator pending mode: When yo

A tree-sitter grammar is slightly more complex but it has a bunch of benefits! Syntax highlighting is more correct, faster and a bunch of smart features like indentation and folding, bracket matching can be built on top of it.

If the bindings were the same, then what's the point? We're not a "vim ported to rust", instead we got our own take on things. (from the vision doc: "Don't try to be everything for everyone. There are many grea

Well it's similar in vim: if I press `d` accidentally and I don't notice, then any subsequent movement commands will start to modify the file. It's a bit more explicit in Helix since you'll see a visual selection being m

Treating newlines as regular characters allows you to use them in motions: t<Enter> will select text until end of the line for example.

That's probably because a lot of electron apps still run via Xwayland and you need to opt into ozone (chromium Wayland implementation)

Does it matter? I used Rust to write it but I don't claim it's "blazingly fast". The post-modern tagline is a joke. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33158035

We're planning to support multiple frontend too. The terminal one is just the main client.

Helix author here: I think the poster chose an unfortunate headline. 1) Helix was written to replace my neovim setup but is in fact kakoune inspired. 2) It's written in Rust but I don't draw focus to it precisely because RiiR&#x2F
