#Helix is my main editor, and it really makes me sad to think of migrating to another editor again because the maintainers don't care enough. Stop the slop…

OK, c'est futile, ça n'a probablement aucun intérêt sauf pour les quelques geeks qui aiment changer d'herbage, mais je me suis (re)mis à #helix, l'éditeur de texte (modal) qui serait presque comme (n)vim, mais avec une logique légèrement décalée (selection puis action, pas l'inverse).

Bah c'est bien. Pas besoin de trouze mille plugins, les LSP marchent direct, l'interface est clean ; mention spéciale pour les "pickers", ultra-efficaces.

In addition to the ethical issues, GenAI is a fundamentally different kind of "coding tool" and needs to be considered differently.

A comment to that effect in the discussion about Helix editor (which I love) asking for a formal LLM policy:

Policy on accepting PRs that include LLM generated code? · helix-editor helix · Discussion #15408

Hello! I've just been checking out Helix recently, and I quite enjoy what I've seen so far! It's fast, intuitive, ships a lot of nice defaults, and works well with what I've used it for thus far! I...

I am looking more and more into the #helix editor. Is there a way that when I do something like “tn” (find next n which also selects to this character) to extend then my selection by other means?
