To override global configuration parameters, create a config.toml
file located in your config directory:
~/.config/helix/config.toml
%AppData%\helix\config.toml
--Hint: You can easily open the config file by typing
-:config-open
within Helix normal mode.
Example config:
-theme = "onedark"
-
-[editor]
-line-number = "relative"
-mouse = false
-
-[editor.cursor-shape]
-insert = "bar"
-normal = "block"
-select = "underline"
-
-[editor.file-picker]
-hidden = false
-
-You may also specify a file to use for configuration with the -c
or
---config
CLI argument: hx -c path/to/custom-config.toml
.

- Helix's editing model is strongly inspired from vim and kakoune, and a notable
-difference from vim (and the most striking similarity to kakoune) is that Helix
-follows the selection → action
model. This means that the whatever you are
-going to act on (a word, a paragraph, a line, etc) is selected first and the
-action itself (delete, change, yank, etc) comes second. A cursor is simply a
-single width selection.
See also Kakoune's Migrating from Vim and Helix's Migrating from Vim.
--- -TODO: Mention textobjects, surround, registers

To add a new language, you need to add a [[language]]
entry to the
-languages.toml
(see the language configuration section).
When adding a new language or Language Server configuration for an existing
-language, run cargo xtask docgen
to add the new configuration to the
-Language Support docs before creating a pull request.
-When adding a Language Server configuration, be sure to update the
-Language Server Wiki with installation notes.
If a tree-sitter grammar is available for the language, add a new [[grammar]]
-entry to languages.toml
.
You may use the source.path
key rather than source.git
with an absolute path
-to a locally available grammar for testing, but switch to source.git
before
-submitting a pull request.
For a language to have syntax-highlighting and indentation among
-other things, you have to add queries. Add a directory for your
-language with the path runtime/queries/<name>/
. The tree-sitter
-website
-gives more info on how to write queries.
--NOTE: When evaluating queries, the first matching query takes -precedence, which is different from other editors like neovim where -the last matching query supersedes the ones before it. See -this issue for an example.
-
If you get errors when running after switching branches, you may have to update the tree-sitter grammars. Run hx --grammar fetch
to fetch the grammars and hx --grammar build
to build any out-of-date grammars.
If a parser is segfaulting or you want to remove the parser, make sure to remove the compiled parser in runtime/grammar/<name>.so
Helix uses tree-sitter to correctly indent new lines. This requires
-a tree-sitter grammar and an indent.scm
query file placed in
-runtime/queries/{language}/indents.scm
. The indentation for a line
-is calculated by traversing the syntax tree from the lowest node at the
-beginning of the new line. Each of these nodes contributes to the total
-indent when it is captured by the query (in what way depends on the name
-of the capture).
Note that it matters where these added indents begin. For example, -multiple indent level increases that start on the same line only increase -the total indent level by 1.
-Added indents don't always apply to the whole node. For example, in most -cases when a node should be indented, we actually only want everything -except for its first line to be indented. For this, there are several -scopes (more scopes may be added in the future if required):
-all
:
-This scope applies to the whole captured node. This is only different from
-tail
when the captured node is the first node on its line.
tail
:
-This scope applies to everything except for the first line of the
-captured node.
Every capture type has a default scope which should do the right thing
-in most situations. When a different scope is required, this can be
-changed by using a #set!
declaration anywhere in the pattern:
(assignment_expression
- right: (_) @indent
- (#set! "scope" "all"))
-
-@indent
(default scope tail
):
-Increase the indent level by 1. Multiple occurrences in the same line
-don't stack. If there is at least one @indent
and one @outdent
-capture on the same line, the indent level isn't changed at all.
@outdent
(default scope all
):
-Decrease the indent level by 1. The same rules as for @indent
apply.
In some cases, an S-expression cannot express exactly what pattern should be matched.
-For that, tree-sitter allows for predicates to appear anywhere within a pattern,
-similar to how #set!
declarations work:
(some_kind
- (child_kind) @indent
- (#predicate? arg1 arg2 ...)
-)
-
-The number of arguments depends on the predicate that's used.
-Each argument is either a capture (@name
) or a string ("some string"
).
-The following predicates are supported by tree-sitter:
#eq?
/#not-eq?
:
-The first argument (a capture) must/must not be equal to the second argument
-(a capture or a string).
#match?
/#not-match?
:
-The first argument (a capture) must/must not match the regex given in the
-second argument (a string).
Additionally, we support some custom predicates for indent queries:
-#not-kind-eq?
:
-The kind of the first argument (a capture) must not be equal to the second
-argument (a string).
#same-line?
/#not-same-line?
:
-The captures given by the 2 arguments must/must not start on the same line.
This section contains guides for adding new language server configurations, -tree-sitter grammars, textobject queries, etc.
- -Textobjects that are language specific (like functions, classes, etc)
-require an accompanying tree-sitter grammar and a textobjects.scm
query file
-to work properly. Tree-sitter allows us to query the source code syntax tree
-and capture specific parts of it. The queries are written in a lisp dialect.
-More information on how to write queries can be found in the official tree-sitter
-documentation.
Query files should be placed in runtime/queries/{language}/textobjects.scm
-when contributing. Note that to test the query files locally you should put
-them under your local runtime directory (~/.config/helix/runtime
on Linux
-for example).
The following captures are recognized:
-Capture Name |
---|
function.inside |
function.around |
class.inside |
class.around |
test.inside |
test.around |
parameter.inside |
comment.inside |
comment.around |
Example query files can be found in the helix GitHub repository.
-Tree-sitter based navigation is done using captures in the -following order:
-object.movement
object.around
object.inside
For example if a function.around
capture has been already defined for a language
-in it's textobjects.scm
file, function navigation should also work automatically.
-function.movement
should be defined only if the node captured by function.around
-doesn't make sense in a navigation context.
