You know, if I can use vim bindings and regex, I might try it out. I tend to try to keep my neovim plugins fairly lightweight when I config myself. Not being electron is a big plus.

yah helix has vim motions.

their search mode and select is a bit different but once you do the tutorial it makes complete sense why youd want to scope your regex replace.

What stopped me personally was reading they use a different order of operations, so to say. Where vim goes action + range, helix goes (or at least used to go) range + action (like replacing ci" by i"c). Mb that makes more sense for them, but I'm too lazy to re-learn that for no particular reason
