However, it’s not ready to dethrone Windows
Is this how we define “the year or the Linux desktop”? The year when the market share is larger than Windows? That’s setting the bar a bit high, no?
For me, the year or the Linux desktop was 2007 or so. That’s when I started using it instead of Windows. 🤷♂️
How about :x.
! If you edited the buffer at all. 👍
Helix crew chiming in. 🙋♂️
You mean a physical keyboard?
Yeah that caption was about as bad as they come. Cool mushrooms though.
Very “dad makes memes” 👍
Reading through these pages makes me more and more confident that I made the right choice moving to fish shell some years ago. It’s so simple, yet still powerful. I don’t miss anything in zsh that I don’t have in fish, and more.
Not really a fan, but it’s pretty clear still. The “Star Trek ship” (Starship Enterprise?) isn’t exactly an obscure reference. 😄
Interesting workflow.
When I’m in Helix I usually just use the buffer jump list, or quick jump with last buffer, or open the list of modified files (according to git), or use splits. All built-in functionality. 👍
It always baffled me with (neo)vim how it was so powerful, yet so incapable unless you put in a lot of work. The potential is there, it just doesn’t deliver unless you basically build your own experience on top of the vim platform.
It got to be too much for me, I think.
Makes more sense now I guess. 😅
Tabs though? Neovim already has tabs support out of the box, right?
To each their own I guess. 😊 I imagine some people consider the bloat to be that extra IDE you have to have laying around just in case you want to debug something.
Indeed. The only issue I have with Helix is the TOML format of the config files. It’s kind of clunky, especially in the languages file. It would be cool if you could be a little less verbose in there. Like YAML or something, and do deeper nesting in a cleaner way, and references for deduplication of settings that are identical, like for JavaScript and TypeScript.
I like Zed as a concept. Rapid af, vim bindings built in, lean stuff.
But I just can’t go back to vim after enjoying helix bindings. They’re too good.
What on earth do you need/use 200+ plugins for? Can you name a tenth of the uses off-hand? 😅
How about
