So I uninstalled Neovim and switched to Helix full-time. Fingers crossed for my Helix journey! 🤞

@gregorni I have just started learning (neo)vim in the past few weeks, how is Helix?

@dajix I actually got used to most of the bindings quite quickly, and I love how there a lot of pop-up windows (in command mode and space mode, specifically) showing what you can type next and what it does if you do.

I love not having to meddle with plugins or a whole tree of config files.

Some bindings take getting used to from Vim, but I'm sure I'll get them eventually.

@dajix Helix's symbol editing feature in particular I really like. I can edit the name of a variable, and it gets updated everywhere throughout the project, even in references to it in other files.

I'm sure Neovim could do this too with some configuration, but in Helix it's set up out of the box.

@gregorni can you give updates in a few days? I tried to use it a few times but I'm so used to vim that i'm lost when I try to use the kakoune style order.

@lionel I'll be posting :)

@lionel By the way, I found this video to be a nice starting point: https://youtu.be/xHebvTGOdH8
