A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.
Features:
- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing
via tree-sitter
If you don't want to build grammar files which provide syntax
highlighting, use HELIX_DISABLE_AUTO_GRAMMAR_BUILD=yes. Those can be
built later with:
hx --grammar fetch; hx --grammar build
This will install them in the runtime directory within the user's helix
config directory.
In order to use system clipboard in Wayland, wl-clipboard is needed.
To build HTML documentation use DOCS=yes. This requires mdbook.
This requires: rust-opt
