In this video I wanted to learn about the Helix text editor, from the perspective of a Neovim user. The wonderful guest is Nik Revenco, which is a Helix contributor, he has added several features to Helix, including Inline Git Blame and tutorials in the wiki page. He also created the Helix Golf page. I basically ask the questions a Neovim user would ask, learned a lot about the multi cursor functionality and how Helix differentiates from Neovim Nik's Helix Golf page Nik's dotfiles Inline Git Blame PR --------------------------------------- Join me in discord (Linkarzu) YouTube Memberships Start your setap 7 day free trial (my affiliate link) Start your 1password 14 day free trial (my affiliate link) If you find this video helpful and want to support me Follow me on twitter My dotfiles (remember to star them) #neovim #helix #linkarzu #macos #linux 00:00:00 - Quick demo 00:01:57 - Why Nik from neovim to helix 00:03:10 - Why started using neovim 00:03:34 - Go back to vscode? 00:04:42 - how long using helix 00:04:55 - How old is Nik 00:05:10 - the odin project 00:05:44 - Experience with rust 00:06:41 - Is helix a GUI app? 00:07:19 - How to open helix 00:07:42 - Performance compared to Neovim? 00:08:17 - How do you navigate in projects 00:08:59 - Using yazi in helix 00:10:40 - file explorer if build from sources 00:11:07 - File picker leader f 00:11:56 - Open command 00:13:16 - aut-info (which-key) 00:14:02 - file 00:14:48 - file 00:15:00 - Me trying helix 00:15:28 - Do I need to create the file? 00:16:52 - vi motions, but different 00:17:25 - m to match 00:17:49 - What about "v" for visual mode? 00:18:48 - Exit to normal mode with kj 00:19:44 - I don't get visual mode 00:22:02 - x is V to select enire line 00:22:45 - select text in non-contiguous lines 00:24:22 - multiple cursor demo 00:26:22 - Nik website multiple cursors demos 00:27:25 - space+p paste from system clipboard 00:27:38 - demo2 multiple cursors 00:29:52 - Move to next selection ) 00:30:07 - remove from selection , 00:32:04 - collapse selection to cursor ; 00:32:49 - gl gh line end or start 00:33:55 - how to start multiple cursors 00:34:39 - add cursors alt+c above shift+c below 00:36:06 - cursors out of phase g+s 00:37:19 - vim-visual-multi neovim 00:38:27 - multiple cursor CSV demo 00:39:26 - is there a keymap search? 00:40:36 - space+? keymap picker 00:41:45 - space+' list of open buffers 00:42:49 - Bufferline to show tabs 00:43:22 - Can you see docs help from helix? 00:45:14 - buffer picker with space+b 00:46:17 - what is helix golf? 00:47:36 - Nik contributions to helix 00:49:00 - Inline git blame PR 00:50:42 - color swatches functionality 00:53:01 - Is inspiration grabbed from neovim? 00:53:37 - Helix plugin system in the future 00:54:27 - Do you miss any neovim features? 00:55:32 - Can you render images in helix? 00:57:54 - Tmux and helix 00:59:10 - Continue CSV demo 00:59:31 - Where is Nik from 01:00:15 - Enable sytax highlighting for a csv 01:01:14 - Add LSP for other languages 01:02:29 - really continue with csv demo 01:09:04 - undo u redo U 01:09:26 - Cursor out of phase 01:10:27 - tilde change case 01:11:06 - shift+s exclude text from selection 01:14:42 - Heard the helix joke? 01:15:34 - What you want to learn next? 01:16:47 - Toggle shows all options 01:17:58 - Create custom colorscheme? 01:18:35 - Helix to start learning rust? 01:21:37 - Nik mcdonalds colorscheme 01:23:07 - auto-save auto-format 01:24:45 - Nik dotfiles for the scavengers 01:25:52 - Open LazyGit from helix 01:26:45 - helix stealing ideas from neovim 01:27:14 - beware, nik uses nix
