Helix-Vim – A Vim-like configuration for Helix
I like Helix, also because I'm a Rust fanboy, but I'm used to Vim use and only now discover this configuration. Let me delve deeper into the configuration of the editor again.

TIL You can ripgrep (or grep) the buffer inside #vim #neovim and have the result back in the buffer.

I just love :vim: #vim for its macros 🤩
(vim macro in the #AltText)
#TexLaTeX

vim screencast. a latex file is open, cursor on a \section{Conclusion} line. The F8 key is pressed (as shown by an overlay), and above the \section line a fancy figlet with reading "Conclusion" in big ASCII art letters appears. Another time F8 is pressed, the next happens for the next section.

You can add this to your vimrc (and install figlet):

nnoremap <F8> k/\\.*section.*{<CR>f{vi{yO<ESC>pV!figlet -w120<CR>maVnk:normal gI% <CR>

Tired of copying `src/file/name.ext:42:5` from a compiler's output, carefully stripping the `:42:5` line and column number, opening the file in your favorite #VIm variant and then pressing `42G` (provided you remembered the line number)?

@… I am afraid I don’t have an answer for you, but I can tell you, based on similar, not-quite-so-pushy experiences, that Copilot in Neovim is just as overrated and pointless as it is in Vim.
(FWIW, I found the migration from Vim to Neovim surprisingly non-traumatic.)

It's not often that I deploy a quick change to my ~/.vimrc and it so thoroughly improves my life, but setting <Shift> <Tab> to correct the most recent misspelled word has done exactly that, right up there with when I learned about <Ctrl> p and <Ctrl> n in insert mode. #vim

One of my most… lasting… memories from the #EuroPython sprints is when I almost threw this gentleman’s notebook against the wall. And that was AFTER he switched off his colemak crimes.

My trying to exit Vim but caps lock is on and it typed :QA! instead of :qa! making me so angry I hit \ instead of enter (which are next to each other on US keyboards).

I've been using the #HelixEditor as my daily driver for the better part of a year now and I couldn't be more happy with it. I've managed to get a near-IDE setup and experience thanks to zellij and some awesome TUI tools.
This article aligns well with my experience, I recommend reading it if you're "modal editor curious" or dissatisfied with your (neo)vim config maintenance burden.

@… Are you going with vim or neovim?
If the latter, I definitely recommend writing your vimrc in Lua, rather than Vimscript. You’ll find many plugins are much easier to configure that way, if nothing else.

@samir@functional.computer
2025-07-25 17:36:02

@… It seems to be progressing a little faster. I think the LSP stuff is more mature, for example. And I do appreciate the Lua. I switched back when vim was mostly unmaintained, but it seems to be back to business now.
I guess it mostly depends on whether you care about the nvim-only features.

@samir@functional.computer
2025-06-24 14:37:26

@… Best of luck!
I checked my history and it seems I started out by symlinking the neovim config file to ~/.vimrc, and aliasing `nvim` to `vim`, with no other changes.
This was 8–9 years ago, apparently, so hopefully that still works.
I did eventually rewrite my config in Lua but only after plodding along fine for several years.
