A super fast, advanced modal editor/IDE, written in #rust and with#vim keybindings. How does that sound?
Some years ago, I forked the #helix editor and started adding some VIM keybindings to it. Now, some keybindings and a modeline later, I‘m excited to share #evilhelix with you, looking forward to your feedback!
@diegovsky Thank you for your feedback! It helps me understand what people are looking for. I don‘t plan on throwing away the plugin system, once it comes, because that would mean that evil-helix would deviate much more from upstream Helix. However, I‘m sceptical regarding the upstream intention to replace the simple, declarative TOML config by a scheme script. I‘d like to keep supporting the TOML config, ideally in addition to the scheme-based system.
@diegovsky That said, at this time, it‘s difficult to tell exactly what will land in upstream Helix, and what the impact will be on evil-helix.
Either way, we‘ll have to carefully decide between what users want, and compatibility with upstream. A hard fork would imply a lot more maintenance effort, and therefore would be my least favorite option.
tl;dr: Let‘s see how things evolve and please keep giving feedback. :)
I've been moving between neovim, helix (can't get over the slightly different mental model compared to vim), vscode, rustrover... Curious what others use.
@hgrsd I found it easier to hack on #helix than manage #neovim plugins, so I brought some #vim keybindings to Helix. My „soft fork“ is still young, but the idea works (https://github.com/usagi-flow/helix); been using it productively for quite a while.
@ArchiveOS Thank you very much; a new browser/fork is always welcome in a world that is increasingly threatened by google‘s monopoly.
That said, I‘m wondering about this: „The source code for Floorp is mostly public“
Would love to know what is closed-source/proprietary, and why.
Any #Linux users using #brew to manage (at least a few of their) packages? Developing on Mac myself and it feels really convenient being able to target both Mac OS and Linux using a single tool, but I have honestly no idea if anyone on Linux is using brew. Are they?
If not, what would be the best way to distribute CLI tools for Linux? My apps are mostly written in Go, so basically just a binary without dependencies.
