Helix editor

There’s been somewhat of a resurgence in simple text editors aiming to replace the command-line favorite Vim. Helix is one such contender in the crowded space alongside Neovim and, more recently, Kakoune. Describing itself — somewhat playfully — as a post-modern text editor, Helix features multiple cursors, Tree-sitter support and integrated Language Server Protocol (LSP) support, which is what first drew our attention. Helix is actively developed with a plugin system on the way. Overall, it’s a lightweight modal editor that feels familiar to Vim users but adds a few modern conveniences.
