A walkthrough of the specific features, keymaps, and configurations of the Helix text editor that are useful for C programming.
Mainly no engine stuff here though I interact with the codebase! I talk free-form about the specific features of Helix that I've been using and what I think is implemented well within the editor, while also mentioning some shortcomings. Discord made! discord.gg/JdRWZd2H5x Patreon: patreon.com/c/dustmite Some relevant videos I found really good at showcasing some helix features: This guy is insanely cracked: youtu.be/QOwTOmVZvRE?si=eOGbPh_Xrdao8ST4 Good FAQ for helix: youtu.be/x4KYASmFT0o?si=iUJjUZJzZ9BCpz80 Quick short video that I found cool: youtube.com/watch?v=oUFQ7FxD2OY Helix Keymap Documentation: docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html My theme: gist.github.com/tdyskinesia/4e919cbbb294f8c9391def9e0e57405c I use the Mx437 Trident 9x16 font, you can find it at: int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ I find it very readable and easy on my eyes. Mean streak: youtube.com/watch?v=5S4FG_Yd8lY Chapters: Intro Brackets / Parameter Jumping Jumplist Z Mode (Center Screen) LSP / Go to References Multiple Cursor / Alignment Alt-Shift-Parentheses Shenanigans W-B / A-I Putting it all together v-x Line Selections Shortcomings / d p y etc. Copy & PasteWhy it's here
