- woah, you are growing fast here in subscriber count. Good for you :) - I remember the subs count last time i saw was smth around 667. - the important thing i like about you is being straight to the point & also knowledgeable/humorous. Please maintain these both/three haha. - other one is the super nice vid production (right from the start) - You will probably be only channel that I will be observing & being part of the growth of (i.e. not like coming to know after u've become big) _and_ will still continue to watch.
I’ve been using helix for a bit now, but I still don’t know how to properly use the sorta “highlight as you move” thing, so whenever I press w to edit the last character or something and get a selection on the whole word, I tend to just do to remove it and edit the last character, could you please demonstrate how to use it properly?
hey, about the c# lsp config problems, checkout the wiki for it, i had the same problem on macos, and found a way to solve it, then updated the wiki to help others
Hi Luke, is it possible that smart guys like you to compile an installable ubuntu app for Helix. A lot of ubuntu users are wondering why there is no installable ubuntu package for Helix without installing rust and compiling the source code!
Intelphense is a proprietary PHP language server, the License costs $15. But yeah it should work as long as you can put it in the PATH when installing. Or you know, the person could use a better programming language than PHP.... 😂
There's other alternatives to intelephense, if it's a language server and it can read/write from stdin/stdout and it's on your PATH you just need to change the config for php lsp under ~/.config/helix/languages.toml file to use this other server instead
@@guisande this brings up a good point. I was trying to get pyright setup instead of pylsp and the documentation for the language.toml file really needs to be better
> _"the documentation for the language.toml file really needs to be better"_ @@echobucket what were your pain ponts? i would be interested to pick those up in the repo.
Which distro / OS are you running ? I’m running arch and for whatever reason I can’t make it work properly. The LSP is running but it doesn’t effectively work. Apart from that I’ve been blown away by helix combined with zellij. Keep up the good work Luke.
My only complaint about Helix so far is that there's no way to have errors show up inline. You must move the cursor over the part of the code with the error to read it... With the multi-line errors I get from rust-analyzer this is not great having to walk around to see all of the error. I hope they add inline errors soon.
There was an unanswered question about PHP development and intelephense... I work with Fedora Linux 36 and i installed intelephense win 'npm install -g intelephense. (It needs node package manager npm of course...) After that I have all my code completion etc. while working with PHP files. Maybe this will help.
yo my statusline is so bland, it has no color. i know that I can configure it to some extent, which I've done, but I don't know how to configure it so that the mode will match my theme nor how to how to add any color to it at all. can anyone help?
Not exactly a Helix question: How are you doing it so that the background color of your terminal matches the background color of your Helix theme? You're just setting the same background color twice?
I am a newbie developer and learning several languages and I am really tempted to learn helix as my editor but i want to learn how to add to a language maybe c...? and the sad part is that i am on windows it would be better if you guide me how to install a lsp of a language and get the auto-recommendation sort of thing turned on thankyou have a nice day
Why does helix don't have plugins ? and why is it a good thing for now ? The absence of visible file tree on the side is currently the only thing holding me back from using it
Helix doesn't have plugins because they don't have a plugin system yet. It's a good thing because the best thing about Helix is its zero-conf, and the longer we go without a plugin system, the more features get merged to core. I am also wishing for a file tree and hope that #200 gets resolved
helix stans real
Oh wow you added my question in 2:31, how to close helix by pressing space + q and save with space+w. Thanks man! i really appreciate
I just found Helix while going down the Neovim config rabbit hole....Helix is AWESOME...I love....
Great to see some Helix content. I fell in love with it on first use. Been preaching it everywhere I can lol
Great content! Looking forward to more. I’m very new to VIM but came across Helix and it’s the only thing I’ve been using.

No comment just love
I will soon be joining you all in Helix, I can't wait...

Unfortunately, it still can’t go to definition for external libraries (which I can do in NeoVim)
ctrl-z fg works with any running process in your terminal including vim, helix, whatever
yes, but in some cases it's blocked. Like if you have a picker open in helix, you cannot use ctrl-z
Helix is the best, I loved your videos.
Any way to get wakatime to register anything in Helix?

$15 license to unlock lambos, got it

is that a command? since backticked?!
How does DAP work in Helix? (toggling breakpoints, etc.) Thanks.
I got helix working with C# LSP pretty easily. Just needed to add omnisharp to my path. What part is causing people issues?

Can you use space+G?
Fair enough, but you can use 'Bracket' + 'd' to jump to diagnostics. Left bracket to previous right to next.
When will dap be ready?
what's the command for file picker, i'm trying to keymap ctrl+e to filepicker
Interestingly, I cannot find any command for this either. I checked the docs and helix itself but had noluck
@@ariseyhun2085 yeah as someone who daily drives nvim+nvchad I'm pretty used to with nvimtree so i was looking for a way

Can you please make a video on Helix + Rust (Rust-analyzer) integration? I am already going crazy, but no autocompletion works. Please!!!
how do we get syntax highlighting for JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Ruby?
these are the default LSP servers
JS: typescript-language-server
HTML: vscode-html-language-server
CSS: vscode-css-language-server
Ruby: solargraph
