New helix version was released 12 minutes ago with new features:

  • multiple language servers
  • fuzzy matching with nucleo (nucleo is a project from creators of helix and is significantly faster than alternatives like fzf)
  • smart tab
  • better registers
  • initial support for LSP DidChangeWatchedFiles
  • syntax highlight regex prompts

What are your top tips for new Helix users? (programming.dev)

I've started using Helix occasionally as I stumbled across the editor when trying to customize vim for Rust.

Immediately, I fell in love with how (mostly) plug and play Helix is.

Over the next few months, I plan to use Helix more and more. If you have any useful tips on usage, customization or anything else I am all ears.

Helix has just transitioned to Nucleo for fuzzy matching (github.com)

Nucleo is a project from creators of helix and is significantly faster that alternatives like fzf.

If you want to use latest features, such as this one, check out helix-git AUR package. (if you are using arch btw)

LLM code completion in Helix (programming.dev)

I found this nice project on GitHub: DJAndries/llmvm. It doesn't seem to work as seamless as GitHub Copilot in JetBrains Rider or VSCode, for example, but since there is no plugin system yet, it's a nice option.
