[https://helix-editor.com/ Helix] is a modal text-editor inspired by [[Neovim]] and [[Kakoune]], written in Rust. Compared to neovim, it is preconfigured with the functions that most people need. It has no plugin system. It uses (neo-)vim motions keybindings, but it uses the object-verb approach (visually highlighting text and then executing a function on it). It is intended for people who like to use a modal text editor but don't want to spend a lot of time configuring it.

environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.helix ];

</syntaxhighlight>Depending on the programming languages it is helpful to install additional packages from ~~nixpgks~~. To show what packages are needed, it is helpful to check <code>hx --health</code>.

=== With Home Manager ===

[[Home Manager]] provides a module for configuring helix.

Line 34:

== Configuration ==

The configuration is stored in two files: ./.config/helix/config.toml and ./.config/helix/language.toml

The configuration is stored in two files: <code>~/.config/helix/config.toml</code> and <code>~/.config/helix/language.toml</code>.

* The full configuration options are described on the [https://docs.helix-editor.com/ Helix documentation].
