🐳 (dotfiles) My personal development docker container base image - add helix · WaylonWalker/devtainer@71b9b29

Helix officially made it in my devtainer. I am installing the binary right out of the github release with wget and tar. I can’t use installer because their release format does not match what installer is looking for.

I also move the runtime over to /usr/local/share/helix/runtime.

I use /usr/local/bin rather than my home directory as it works better with distrobox.

Here are some really great keybinds to make helix vim-like. It feels very antithetical to use this whole sale and forego the helix motion-verb language, but there are some nuggets like G in here that I find useful.

Interesting take on refactoring the whole codebase from your editor. In this thread the-mikedavis suggests multicursor as a replacement for substitute, and later in the thread takes the side that larger workspace wide edits are outside the scope of helix and he would reach for a refactoring tool like fastmod to do the job.

I am a heavy user off substitutions in vim, helix does not substitutions built in, rather it leans on multicursor support.

to replace every instance of hello with world in vim

:%s/hello/world/g<CR>

and in helix you would

%shello<CR>cworld<ESC>,
