#helix vs #neovim. spot the differences!

the main one isn't really visible, though: helix has a built-in #treesitter, and it does a great job at highlighting #rust out of the box, with zero configuration and dependencies!

this way, i don't have 20 plugins in #lua and/or #vimscript running in the background and autoupdating from #github - awesome! 🌈🦄 config is plain #toml - no need to write it in turing-complete languages which i only know poorly

Helix crib sheet

A quick reference for the key bindings and modes used in the multi-modal text editor Helix.

zero-configuration is really great! I wish helix supported vim keybindings. 20y of muscle memory is not going to go away so easily!
