Helix

Selection-first code editing

Visit Helix official site

What it does

Helix uses selection-first modal editing, combining tree-sitter syntax analysis with language-server features for navigating, modifying, and inspecting source code through keyboard operations built around the currently selected text and its syntactic structure.

When to use it

For keyboard navigation through code structure, consult selection and language-configuration guides to relate syntax nodes to the diagnostics supplied by the language server.
