Helix Editor#docs.helix-editor.com

Whilst it's likely I'll never be as fast at editing code with a vim like editor such as Helix compared to VSCode I think it could be a fun thing to learn.

The tutor mode in Helix is solid and I've been able to setup a basic environment for doing anything TypeScript related using this config. I just had to edit my ~/.config/helix/languages.toml file and install all the dependencies globally with npm.

I can then run

hx --health typescript

to confirm everything is working.

Using Helix plus lazygit is a really nice development environment especially for my own personal projects.
