A post-modern modal text editor written in Rust.
Helix is a terminal-based modal text editor inspired by Vim and Kakoune, built for modern development workflows.
Features:
- Vim-like modal editing with a selection-first, action-second model borrowed from Kakoune
- Multiple cursors and selections as a first-class feature
- Built-in Language Server Protocol (LSP) support for code intelligence: completions, diagnostics, go-to-definition, and more — no plugins needed
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and structural editing via tree-sitter
- Fuzzy file picker, global search, and a built-in command palette
- Written in Rust for performance and reliability
