[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 (for example tree-sitter for syntax highlighting). There is a [https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675 PR] to add [https://helix-plugins.com/ plugins]. 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.
