Kakoune/Helix editing model #6

Open SomeGuyNamedMay opened 1 year ago

SomeGuyNamedMay commented 1 year ago

both text editors use a selection then action model rather then vims model and I have found it to be much more user friendly with command discovery being much better.

It would be great to see discussion and collaboration between the two projects, especially considering the ongoing discussion around creating GUI frontends for helix, for example: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/39#issuecomment-869066905.

I'll probably break out the modal editing parser into a no_std rust crate so it can be used in a bunch of other places I am working on editing features. I could add different kinds of parsing, definitely the primary one being vim-like but a helix-like kind would be possible.

+1 to this as well, I use Helix editing model instead of Vim since I find it way easier than Vim one.

To talk a bit more about the differences between helix and neo/vim:

helix is selection -> action While vim is action -> object

So you can always see what you're doing
