during development I found\nmyself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.\n\nFor more information, see the [website](https://helix-editor.com) or\n[documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/).\n\nAll shortcuts/keymaps can be found [in the documentation on the website](https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html).\n\n[Troubleshooting](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/Troubleshooting)\n\n# Features\n\n- Vim-like modal editing\n- Multiple selections\n- Built-in language server support\n- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter\n\nAlthough it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring\na custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu or skulpin.\n\nNote: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check\n`runtime/queries/\u003clang\u003e/` for `indents.scm`.\n\n# Installation\n\n[Installation documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html).\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/helix-editor.svg?exclude_unsupported=1)](https://repology.org/project/helix-editor/versions)\n\n# Contributing\n\nContributing guidelines can be found [here](./docs/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n# Getting help\n\nYour question might already be answered on the [FAQ](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/FAQ).\n\nDiscuss the project on the community [Matrix Space](https://matrix.to/#/#helix-community:matrix.org) (make sure to join `#helix-editor:matrix.org` if you're on a client that doesn't support Matrix Spaces yet).\n\n# Credits\n\nThanks to [@jakenvac](https://github.com/jakenvac) for designing the logo!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsameoldlab%2Fhelix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsameoldlab%2Fhelix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsameoldlab%2Fhelix/lists"}
