I created a crib sheet for the #Helix text editor:

https://www.bobulous.org.uk/coding/Helix-crib-sheet.html

As usual I intended the new page to be compact and concise; and as usual it ended up being huge and rambling. Hopefully it'll still be of use to people who aren't fully familiar with the most useful keys and commands. (And just maybe of vague interest to #Neovim users who are thinking about trying Helix.)

Let me know if you spot anything incorrect.

This is exciting!

The File Explorer landed on Helix, and I’m delighted. Although it’s a minimalist file explorer, it effectively accomplishes its purpose. Perhaps it can expand its capabilities from here

Once I learn a thing or two, I will try to contribute! Looks remarkable.

Hopping on a call with Kit (ConvertKit) API team from a #FrameworkLaptop running #NixOS and #HelixEditor while taking notes on my #floppydisk notepad.

Nerd status feels good today.

GREAT #HelixEditor trick someone here taught me!

If you want to create a file in the same directory as the file you have OPEN, you can do

:o

Then press Control + R, and hit %

That will put the full path of the file you have open.. and its easy to change the file name.

Same trick would be great if you want to delete the current file you have open

:sh rm <Ctr+r> %

Good stuff!

does anyone know, in #HelixEditor if there is a way to shorthand the CWD of the file you have open.

Like lets say i'm in

application/controllers/admin/affiliates/edit.php

and I want to create

application/controllers/admin/affiliates/add.php

Do I really have to type:

:o application/controllers/admin/affiliates/edit.php

Or is there a shortcut way to be like

:o CWD/edit.php?

I think I've decided that I'm going to just stick with #HelixEditor for my legacy #PHP application. It's just so dialed in and works great. Zed is struggling to deal with the wonkiness.

However, once I start migrating code over to #elixir , Im going to give #ZedEditor another go. It IS impressive.

In #ZedEditor , I can't seem to get format on save to match what I have in #HelixEditor

In Helix, this misaligned HTML would be correct, bbut doesnt work for zed..

Any ideas why? This is my config for zed

And this is my config for Helix

Anyone using #ZedEditor ? Curious your thoughts?

Ive been using and loving #HelixEditor but sometimes deeply miss the file tree and code folding.

But can't really stand #vscode anymore.

Hey #linux people.. I've had this Ryzen 7 Beelink running #nixos in my garage for over a year. I'm doing some basic web development on it, and it's always been more than fast enough.

But lately i've notice it gets super laggy when updating, or even when i'm in my code editor #HelixEditor backspacing code, etc..

Nothing has changed in my setup.. and ram usage seems fine..

What should I check?

A #HelixEditor tip:

One way to delete from the current position to the end of the line is `vgld`, which translates to "enter Visual mode, Go to the end of the Line and Delete".

To save some keystrokes, here are some other options:

`t<ret>d`

Which means "find 'Till next occurrence of the Return character and Delete the selection".

Even shorter: You can bind a key like D to `kill_to_end_of_line` in normal model and just press "D" !

[keys.normal]
D = "kill_to_line_end"

Any #elixir devs using #HelixEditor or really any type of editor that requires elixir-ls?

How do you install Elixir-ls on #Fedora ?

I'm so used to NixOS where it's just packaged, but can't seem to figure out how to do this in Fedora (i'm on an M1 running asahi right now)

In #HelixEditor , is there a way to dismiss the hint pop up on the top?

I don't mind it popping up, but then want to dismiss it, as it's often over something I actually want to see.
