* ignore Enter keypress when menu has no selection supersedes #1622 Builds on the work in #1285. I want to allow Enter to create a newline when there is no selection in the autocomplete menu. This occurs somewhat often when using LSP autocomplete in Elixir which uses `do/end` blocks (and I set the autocomplete menu delay to 0 which exacerbates the problem): ```elixir defmodule MyModule do def do_foo(x) do x end def other_function(y) do| end ``` Here the cursor is `|` in insert mode. The LSP suggests `do_foo` but I want to create a newline. Hitting Enter currently closes the menu, so I end up having to hit Enter twice when the module contains any local with a `do` prefix, which can be inconsistent. With this change, we ignore the Enter keypress to end up creating the newline in this case. * pop compositor layer when ignoring Enter keypress * move closing function out of consumed event result closure * explicitly label close_fn as an 'Option<Callback>' |

README.md
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.
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.toml.
Installation
We provide packaging for various distributions, but here's a quick method to build from source.
git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules -j8 https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term
This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin.
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).
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_RUNTIMEpath, it will automatically detect theruntimedirectory in the project root.
MacOS
Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew via:
brew tap helix-editor/helix
brew install helix
