fix: Recalculate completion when going through prompt history (#3193)
* fix: Recalculate completion when going through prompt history

* Update completion when the prompt line is changed

It should not be possible to update the line without also updating the
completion since the completion holds an index into the line.

* Fix Prompt::with_line recalculate completion

with_line was the last function where recalculate completion had to be
done manually. This function now also recalculates the completion so
that it's impossible to forget.

* Exit selection when recalculating completion

Keeping the selection index when the completion has been recalculated
doesn't make sense. This clears the selection automatically, removing
most needs to manually clear it.

* Remove &mut on save_filter

Helix

Build status

Screenshot

A kakoune / neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the website or documentation.

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.

Troubleshooting

Features

  • Vim-like modal editing
  • Multiple selections
  • Built-in language server support
  • Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer (similar to emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.

Installation

Packages are available for various distributions (see Installation docs).

If you would like to build from source:

git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term

This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin and build tree-sitter grammars. If you want to customize your languages.toml config, tree-sitter grammars may be manually fetched and built with hx --grammar fetch and hx --grammar build.

Helix also needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the runtime/ directory into the config directory (for example ~/.config/helix/runtime on Linux/macOS, or %AppData%/helix/runtime on Windows).

OS Command
Windows (cmd.exe) xcopy /e runtime %AppData%\helix\runtime
Windows (PowerShell) xcopy /e runtime $Env:AppData\helix\runtime
Linux/macOS ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime

This location can be overridden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.

Packages already solve this for you by wrapping the hx binary with a wrapper that sets the variable to the install dir.

NOTE: running via cargo also doesn't require setting explicit HELIX_RUNTIME path, it will automatically detect the runtime directory in the project root.

In order to use LSP features like auto-complete, you will need to install the appropriate Language Server for a language.

Packaging status

MacOS

Helix can be installed on MacOS through homebrew:

brew install helix
