Helix

A kakoune / neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on kakoune; during development I foundmyself agreeing with most of kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the website ordocumentation.

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.

Troubleshooting

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.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Checkruntime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.toml.

Installation

We provide packaging for various distributions, but here's a quick method tobuild from source.

git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helixcd helixcargo install --path helix-termhx --grammar fetchhx --grammar build

This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin and build tree-sitter grammars.

Helix also needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the runtime/ directory into theconfig directory (for example ~/.config/helix/runtime on Linux/macOS, or %AppData%/helix/runtime on Windows).This location can be overridden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.

Packages already solve this for you by wrapping the hx binary with a wrapperthat sets the variable to the install dir.

NOTE: running via cargo also doesn't require setting explicit HELIX_RUNTIME path, it will automaticallydetect the runtime directory in the project root.

MacOS

Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew via:

brew tap helix-editor/helixbrew install helix
