While I'm leaning #elixir , i'm also taking the opportunity to learn and try the #zed editor as well.
I'm usually a #helixEditor guy.. but in learning a new framework, I really want to see the file tree.
I've been zed-curious for a while and I have to say, I like it. It's super clean, fast and simple, while seemingly having everything I need!
@64bithero yeah.. I def ignore the AI stuff too.. so far at least it seems easy to ignore it. I haven't been annoyed to use it like with VSCode
I really wish Helix would just introduce a file tree and MAYBE code folding? But I know that ain't gonna happen ahha
@codemonkeymike @64bithero if you don't mind compiling your own, here's a Helix fork that pulls in a bunch of open PRs, including code folding: https://github.com/gj1118/helix/
I've been using this as my daily for 6 months now
re: file trees, I tend to run yazi in another terminal tab, but there have been a number of efforts to automate a yazi sidebar for helix under zellij or such, such as https://github.com/luccahuguet/yazelix
I have spc-e mapped to open yazi and choose a file with this snippet under keys.normal.space:
e = [
':sh rm -f /tmp/unique-file',
':insert-output yazi %{buffer_name} --chooser-file=/tmp/unique-file',
':insert-output echo "\x1b[?1049h\x1b[?2004h" > /dev/tty',
':open %sh{cat /tmp/unique-file}',
':redraw',
]
