What non-IDE tekst editor do you use? - lemm.ee

(Graphical) IDE’s are great for development, but they’re slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don’t want to spin up the whole IDE for that. I’ve recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what’s your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

Helix. Instant startup. Minimal configuration required. Has all of the killer features I want from an IDE anyway.

Helix deserves more love. Blazing fast, sensible defaults, good lsp support, vim-ish bindings. It’s really my perfect editor

It’s such a cool editor, but after decades of Vim motor memory I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the cursor / selection changes. I really wish there was an option to just make selection work like Vim.
