Riccardo Binetti 888f4fef6f Split helix_core::find_root and helix_loader::find_local_config_dirs (#3929 ) * Split helix_core::find_root and helix_loader::find_local_config_dirs The documentation of find_root described the following priority for detecting a project root: - Top-most folder containing a root marker in current git repository - Git repository root if no marker detected - Top-most folder containing a root marker if not git repository detected - Current working directory as fallback The commit contained in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1249 extracted and changed the implementation of find_root in find_root_impl, actually reversing its result order (since that is the order that made sense for the local configuration merge, from innermost to outermost ancestors). Since the two uses of find_root_impl have different requirements (and it's not a matter of reversing the order of results since, e.g., the top repository dir should be used by find_root only if there's not marker in other dirs), this PR splits the two implementations in two different specialized functions. In doing so, find_root_impl is removed and the implementation is moved back in find_root, moving it closer to the documented behaviour thus making it easier to verify it's actually correct * helix-core: remove Option from find_root return type It always returns some result, so Option is not needed		2 years ago

Helix

A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the website or documentation.

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.

Troubleshooting

Features

Vim-like modal editing
Multiple selections
Built-in language server support
Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.

Installation

Packages are available for various distributions (see Installation docs).

If you would like to build from source:

git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term

This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin and build tree-sitter grammars. If you want to customize your languages.toml config, tree-sitter grammars may be manually fetched and built with hx --grammar fetch and hx --grammar build.

Helix also needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the runtime/ directory into the config directory (for example ~/.config/helix/runtime on Linux/macOS, or %AppData%/helix/runtime on Windows).

OS	Command
Windows (cmd.exe)	`xcopy /e /i runtime %AppData%\helix\runtime`
Windows (PowerShell)	`xcopy /e /i runtime $Env:AppData\helix\runtime`
Linux/macOS	`ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime`

This location can be overridden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.

Packages already solve this for you by wrapping the hx binary with a wrapper that sets the variable to the install dir.

NOTE: running via cargo also doesn't require setting explicit HELIX_RUNTIME path, it will automatically detect the runtime directory in the project root.

In order to use LSP features like auto-complete, you will need to install the appropriate Language Server for a language.

MacOS

Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew:

brew install helix
