You can use a custom configuration file by specifying it with the `-c` or
`--config` command line argument, for example `hx -c path/to/custom-config.toml`.
Additionally, you can reload the configuration file by sending the USR1
signal to the Helix process on Unix operating systems, such as by using the command `pkill -USR1 hx`.

Softwrapping improvements (#5893) * use max_line_width + 1 during softwrap to account for newline char Helix softwrap implementation always wraps lines so that the newline character doesn't get cut off so he line wraps one chars earlier then in other editors. This is necessary, because newline chars are always selecatble in helix and must never be hidden. However That means that `max_line_width` currently wraps one char earlier than expected. The typical definition of line width does not include the newline character and other helix commands like `:reflow` also don't count the newline character here. This commit makes softwrap use `max_line_width + 1` instead of `max_line_width` to correct the impedance missmatch. * fix typos Co-authored-by: Jonathan Lebon <jonathan@jlebon.com> * Add text-width to config.toml * text-width: update setting documentation * rename leftover config item * remove leftover max-line-length occurrences * Make `text-width` optional in editor config When it was only used for `:reflow` it made sense to have a default value set to `80`, but now that soft-wrapping uses this setting, keeping a default set to `80` would make soft-wrapping behave more aggressively. * Allow softwrapping to ignore `text-width` Softwrapping wraps by default to the viewport width or a configured `text-width` (whichever's smaller). In some cases we only want to set `text-width` to use for hard-wrapping and let longer lines flow if they have enough space. This setting allows that. * Revert "Make `text-width` optional in editor config" This reverts commit b247d526d69adf41434b6fd9c4983369c785aa22. * soft-wrap: allow per-language overrides * Update book/src/configuration.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> * Update book/src/languages.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> * Update book/src/configuration.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> --------- Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> Co-authored-by: Jonathan Lebon <jonathan@jlebon.com> Co-authored-by: Alex Boehm <alexb@ozrunways.com> Co-authored-by: Blaž Hrastnik <blaz@mxxn.io>

### `[editor.statusline]` Section
Allows configuring the statusline at the bottom of the editor.
The configuration distinguishes between three areas of the status line:
`[ ... ... LEFT ... ... | ... ... ... ... CENTER ... ... ... ... | ... ... RIGHT ... ... ]`
Statusline elements can be defined as follows:
```toml
[editor.statusline]
left = ["mode", "spinner"]
center = ["file-name"]
right = ["diagnostics", "selections", "position", "file-encoding", "file-line-ending", "file-type"]
separator = "│"
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"

### `[editor.auto-pairs]` Section
Enables automatic insertion of pairs to parentheses, brackets, etc. Can be a
simple boolean value, or a specific mapping of pairs of single characters.
To disable auto-pairs altogether, set `auto-pairs` to `false`:
```toml
[editor]
auto-pairs = false # defaults to `true`
```
The default pairs are <code>(){}[]''""``</code>, but these can be customized by
setting `auto-pairs` to a TOML table:
```toml
[editor.auto-pairs]
'(' = ')'
'{' = '}'
'[' = ']'
'"' = '"'
'`' = '`'
'<' = '>'
```
Additionally, this setting can be used in a language config. Unless
the editor setting is `false`, this will override the editor config in
documents with this language.
Example `languages.toml` that adds <> and removes ''
```toml
[[language]]
name = "rust"
[language.auto-pairs]
'(' = ')'
'{' = '}'
'[' = ']'
'"' = '"'
'`' = '`'
'<' = '>'
```

Softwrapping improvements (#5893) * use max_line_width + 1 during softwrap to account for newline char Helix softwrap implementation always wraps lines so that the newline character doesn't get cut off so he line wraps one chars earlier then in other editors. This is necessary, because newline chars are always selecatble in helix and must never be hidden. However That means that `max_line_width` currently wraps one char earlier than expected. The typical definition of line width does not include the newline character and other helix commands like `:reflow` also don't count the newline character here. This commit makes softwrap use `max_line_width + 1` instead of `max_line_width` to correct the impedance missmatch. * fix typos Co-authored-by: Jonathan Lebon <jonathan@jlebon.com> * Add text-width to config.toml * text-width: update setting documentation * rename leftover config item * remove leftover max-line-length occurrences * Make `text-width` optional in editor config When it was only used for `:reflow` it made sense to have a default value set to `80`, but now that soft-wrapping uses this setting, keeping a default set to `80` would make soft-wrapping behave more aggressively. * Allow softwrapping to ignore `text-width` Softwrapping wraps by default to the viewport width or a configured `text-width` (whichever's smaller). In some cases we only want to set `text-width` to use for hard-wrapping and let longer lines flow if they have enough space. This setting allows that. * Revert "Make `text-width` optional in editor config" This reverts commit b247d526d69adf41434b6fd9c4983369c785aa22. * soft-wrap: allow per-language overrides * Update book/src/configuration.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> * Update book/src/languages.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> * Update book/src/configuration.md Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> --------- Co-authored-by: Pascal Kuthe <pascal.kuthe@semimod.de> Co-authored-by: Jonathan Lebon <jonathan@jlebon.com> Co-authored-by: Alex Boehm <alexb@ozrunways.com> Co-authored-by: Blaž Hrastnik <blaz@mxxn.io>
