where do i get a fast language server?

Thanks for this! I'll be using it with Zed

Is there a good way to preview the result of the markdown within helix or in a helix adjacent manner?

I just started using helix (It's my first time actually putting the time to learn a modal editor and I'm satisfied with the results just three days in not even mentioning how easy lsp integration was) But the only problem I faced while following the tutor was these chords. I thought we are leaving chords behind now that we are using a modal editor but the most useful one opening the window menu needs ctrl+w which is hard for me to press because I'm used to only left ctrl key and I can't press both of those keys with one hand and now you are mentioning ctrl+s to save in the jumplist which is even harder than ctrl+w to press. Why the devs decided to add chords?

just installed helix but js language server won't work at all

bro really don't ";" = "command_mode" ???

Subbed bro! I've just started using helix and your videos are exactly what I needed! I hope your channel keeps growing steady!

Zellij got a file picker and it opens the file in Helix by default, if that's how the Shell is configured.

I rather like to use Helix inside of Zellij.

What do yuo mean by the -20% speed? (I like your videis btw been using hx bindings for like half a year)

`be` is faster than `miw`

while trying to have A lots of rust-based tools to work in Terminal.....Got Some Top-notched, Next-Gen, Fully-Functional, Minimal-Toml-Configuration products....Loving my terminal now...Feels so much own..... Wezterm--✅ Yazi---✅ Helix---✅

Helix!

Looks like an army uniform 😀

What a waste !

I'm exploring Helix on mac. I used homebrew to install marksman, but hx --health says it can't find marksman. It's installed in a standard homebrew $PATH location. Are there additional steps beyond installing the language for it to work in Helix? Should I add something to language.toml?

I miss your helix tips and tricks videos. pls do more of them <3

for me using helix atm learning a modal editor over vscode and i really enjoy it. im not convinced it needed to have a file picker, i usually scope myself into a feature and then in space mode just look at the current open buffers instead

Awesome! I love these short quick videos. Now I want to know how to efficiently open that line we just found in helix!?

I just started using helix-gpt. Bit tricky to set up for your favorite language RN. I think ppl would be interested in learning to use GPT/Copilot in Helix. BTW. I've been using Helix for about a year and still found some helpful tips just watching the first three hx videos 👍

I installed Helix because of you. I can now open helix with "hx", but I do not know how to escape from insert mode but I do know :q! -> how to learn helix? the website isn't helping me and I do not know any vim.

Silence! Let him cook.

😂😂😂😂😂 neovim 7 h 44m. To make it work . Not perfect just work

i am coming here _back_ now, after having 16 more months of experience. hear me out If u r a begginer to all these modal editors, and got suckered in by helix's clever marketting & youtube comments & are now afraid of nvim. * Helix SU*kS big time. It is half baked pile of g**bage with huge pile of inefficiencies which far far outweigh the shiny TUI it has. * Use helix just for 4 days: learn quick basics like maw, miw, etc. It will reduce the learning curve to nvim. * Then switch to neovim vanilla, first with no LSP, then use it with Vscodium using the extension: asvetliakov.vscode-neovim extension which makes use of neovim's powerful client server capabilities.

Yazi is nice for moving files around and browsing, but I don't really need to do this in helix, so helix fuzzy finder is fine for me in helix.

I use WezTerm, Nushell and Helix, and work on frontend. I don’t even have VS Code or Neovim installed anymore.

I love helix. 🧬. We need more videos on cool things to do in helix.

I am not native english speaker and dont understand some things. How you can jump to same definitions?

Boo for not using the ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:SS) (with HH:mm:SS being optional)

Oh that's an actual cool case of use for multi cursor + replace mode. I feel like a troglodite with my 50 * TODO: something

Wait… what helix keymap plugin exists in vscode ? How is it called? AFAIK there’s no such, the couple i installed are not doing good job and nowhere close to helix keymap

You forgot to mention the third criteria, "can your knights distinguish your flag through a visor from your rival baron's flag (who has a very similar flag)"!

Why does the speed curve of helix flatten compared to vim? They both use roughly the same amount of keystrokes / combinations to get the same thing done right?

Is there a reason you prefer flutter over react native as I realize your contents are mostly flutter based.

the answer to the question is no.

escape colon o space period enter

id rather have a file picker in helix than a beer

A lot of those small changes added up! Looks good

Never used the HSL picker before, that's a great tip 💡

maybe just have the flame change color depending on how long the streak is; dunno about much else | I just watch this UI/UX stuff as a Indie Game Dev

can u share the figma file thanks

Interesting video. I like this randomness of the content you're uploading.

I like the helix stuff and command line stuff. I am learning rust. I do scan your other videos just in case you have something that matches another one of my interests. I don't know what else you could do that I would be interested in but perhaps this is the time for you to experiment? I have noticed that having multiple channels (I have 3 watch only channels) is helpful because things are better targeted for each channel: that shows you how crappy search algorithms are.

I'm with you. vim bindings are terrible. I first used vim over 35 years ago - after I had already leant to touch type. I started as a systems admin and thus I use the lowest common denominator - vim & default key bindings (nano is sh#t) - everywhere because I'm constantly accessing unfamiliar systems. Generally I don't install software on those systems (it's not worth the hassle) so I use vim, bash, sed and friends. Helix is probably the only software that I would consider installing on a system, even one rarely used, because it makes me much more productive. The key-binding juice is worth the installation squeeze. Helix bindings are clearer and, like you, I don't have to go back to manual for really basic stuff. Easy to build on the current binding knowledge too. I want helix bindings everywhere.

Wouldn't a plug-in system then allow other parties (not the helix core team) to develop plug ins like the file manager? If yes, that seems like a great use of their time. Then they'll be able to decide what is core vs what can be left to other authors.

Man this works perfectly with a note CLI app I made, thanks!

Nice

Something that I like of having VSCode + Helix is that in VSCode I can do `Alt + Left Arrow` and `Alt + Right Arrow` to go back and forward to the last location without having to add the line to the jumplist manually.
