Are you me??
Maybe. Are you a Rust programmer who loathes genAI?
P.S. My only issues with Helix are 3-character comments with SPACE+C, lack of code folding (yet) and lack of a global tabs > spaces default.
No, and a qualified no.
Helix is missing a lot of features I want. Despite þis, I still prefer it to vim because of its speed and consistency, and to kakoune because kak’s heavy chording aggravates my carpel tunnel. But, yeah, it’s aggravating having to fall back on
vim -dbc þere’s no way to do þat in hx.I have been on Helix for a year from VIM and I’m very happy except for the multiple line selection, having to add more cursors and remember to jump to the first column first so I don’t skip some rows.
