Helix <3

Yeah hx. It was hx that finally made me use vi style navigation and now I choose vim over nano almost always.

I'm halfway between hx and vim, I vastly prefer the helix/kakoune philosophy of selection, then action over vim, but I'm dearly missing plug-in support for Helix

I was going to point to visual.nvim as a possible middle ground, but it's now archived :(

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested it myself

I'm just gonna be patient. Vanilla Helix is very much usable for everything I need it for at the moment, with built in LSP support, and plug-in support is on the horizon. Not sure when exactly, but it's gonna happen eventually

Yeah I'm with you there, vanilla helix meets basically 90% of my needs so I'm not in any real rush to change

vanilla helix is so nice, the keybindings make so much more sense and it feels really comfortable
