I love vim and vim based editors.
I used to use stock Vim but recently I've started using Helix which is like a more user friendly version of vim (copying to clipboard is easy) and I'm loving it!
If it's easier to use how are we supposed to keep the Emacs people away?
wow, good to know that there are still terminal-based text editors being developed.
I'll surely try it.
Helix is pretty cool, I think the Lemmy devs use it too.
I use it because it's purple and I like purple.
royal choice, I see :)
Whoa that website's demo video is selectable text that plays like a video
Looks like it's using https://asciinema.org/
+1 for Helix. I found it recently and it feels way easier to make changes and add support for new languages.
If only they would support vim keybindings

Helix's editing model is much more preferable to vim's for me but the editor is not at all hackable so I can't daily drive it yet. Unfortunately, the development is not going that fast either. It takes months for my PRs to be even reviewed for the first time, let alone merge.
