</ul>
|
|
<p>If there is a selected register before invoking a change or delete command, the selection will be stored in the register and the action will be carried out:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>"hc</code> - Store the selection in register <code>h</code> and then change it (delete and enter insert mode).</li>

<h2 id="surround"><a class="header" href="#surround">Surround</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Functionality similar to <a href="https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround">vim-surround</a> is built into
|
|
helix. The keymappings have been inspired from <a href="https://github.com/machakann/vim-sandwich">vim-sandwich</a>:</p>

<p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23398472/122865801-97073180-d344-11eb-8142-8f43809982c6.gif" alt="surround demo" /></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>ms</code> - Add surround characters</li>
|
|
<li><code>mr</code> - Replace surround characters</li>
|
|
<li><code>md</code> - Delete surround characters</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><code>ms</code> acts on a selection, so select the text first and use <code>ms<char></code>. <code>mr</code> and <code>md</code> work
|
|
on the closest pairs found and selections are not required; use counts to act in outer pairs.</p>
|
|
<p>It can also act on multiple seletions (yay!). For example, to change every occurance of <code>(use)</code> to <code>[use]</code>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>%</code> to select the whole file</li>
|
|
<li><code>s</code> to split the selections on a search term</li>
|
|
<li>Input <code>use</code> and hit Enter</li>
|
|
<li><code>mr([</code> to replace the parens with square brackets</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Multiple characters are currently not supported, but planned.</p>

|
|
<p>Helix's editing model is strongly inspired from vim and kakoune, and a notable
|
|
difference from vim (and the most striking similarity to kakoune) is that Helix
|
|
follows the <code>selection → action</code> model. This means that the whatever you are
|
|
going to act on (a word, a paragraph, a line, etc) is selected first and the
|
|
action itself (delete, change, yank, etc) comes second. A cursor is simply a
|
|
single width selection.</p>

<div style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="themes"><a class="header" href="#themes">Themes</a></h1>
|
|
<p>First you'll need to place selected themes in your <code>themes</code> directory (i.e <code>~/.config/helix/themes</code>), the directory might have to be created beforehand.</p>
|
|
<p>To use a custom theme add <code>theme = <name></code> to your <a href="./configuration.html"><code>config.toml</code></a> or override it during runtime using <code>:theme <name></code>.</p>
|
|
<p>The default theme.toml can be found <a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/theme.toml">here</a>, and user submitted themes <a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/runtime/themes">here</a>. </p>
|
|
<h2 id="creating-a-theme"><a class="header" href="#creating-a-theme">Creating a theme</a></h2>
|
|
<p>First create a file with the name of your theme as file name (i.e <code>mytheme.toml</code>) and place it in your <code>themes</code> directory (i.e <code>~/.config/helix/themes</code>).</p>
|
|
<p>Each line in the theme file is specified as below:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">key = { fg = "#ffffff", bg = "#000000", modifiers = ["bold", "italic"] }
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>where <code>key</code> represents what you want to style, <code>fg</code> specifies the foreground color, <code>bg</code> the background color, and <code>modifiers</code> is a list of style modifiers. <code>bg</code> and <code>modifiers</code> can be omitted to defer to the defaults.</p>
|
|
<p>To specify only the foreground color:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">key = "#ffffff"
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>if the key contains a dot <code>'.'</code>, it must be quoted to prevent it being parsed as a <a href="https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0#keys">dotted key</a>.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">"key.key" = "#ffffff"
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h3 id="color-palettes"><a class="header" href="#color-palettes">Color palettes</a></h3>
|
|
<p>It's recommended define a palette of named colors, and refer to them from the
|
|
configuration values in your theme. To do this, add a table called
|
|
<code>palette</code> to your theme file:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">ui.background = "white"
|
|
ui.text = "black"
|
|
|
|
[palette]
|
|
white = "#ffffff"
|
|
black = "#000000"
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Remember that the <code>[palette]</code> table includes all keys after its header,
|
|
so you should define the palette after normal theme options.</p>
|
|
<p>The default palette uses the terminal's default 16 colors, and the colors names
|
|
are listed below. The <code>[palette]</code> section in the config file takes precedence
|
|
over it and is merged into the default palette.</p>
|

<p>The following is a list of scopes available to use for styling.</p>
|

<h4 id="syntax-highlighting"><a class="header" href="#syntax-highlighting">Syntax highlighting</a></h4>

<p>Language-specific settings and settings for particular language servers can be configured in a <code>languages.toml</code> file placed in your <a href="./configuration.html">configuration directory</a>. Helix actually uses two <code>languages.toml</code> files, the <a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml">first one</a> is in the main helix repository; it contains the default settings for each language and is included in the helix binary at compile time. Users who want to see the available settings and options can either reference the helix repo's <code>languages.toml</code> file, or consult the table in the <a href="./guides/adding_languages.html">adding languages</a> section.</p>
|
|
<p>Changes made to the <code>languages.toml</code> file in a user's <a href="./configuration.html">configuration directory</a> are merged with helix's defaults on start-up, such that a user's settings will take precedence over defaults in the event of a collision. For example, the default <code>languages.toml</code> sets rust's <code>auto-format</code> to <code>true</code>. If a user wants to disable auto-format, they can change the <code>languages.toml</code> in their <a href="./configuration.html">configuration directory</a> to make the rust entry read like the example below; the new key/value pair <code>auto-format = false</code> will override the default when the two sets of settings are merged on start-up:</p>
|
|
<pre><code># in <config_dir>/helix/languages.toml
|
|
|
|
[[language]]
|
|
name = "rust"
|

auto-format = false

<h2 id="submodules"><a class="header" href="#submodules">Submodules</a></h2>
|
|
<p>To add a new langauge, you should first add a tree-sitter submodule. To do this,
|
|
you can run the command</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">git submodule add -f <repository> helix-syntax/languages/tree-sitter-<name>
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>For example, to add tree-sitter-ocaml you would run</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">git submodule add -f https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-ocaml helix-syntax/languages/tree-sitter-ocaml
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Make sure the submodule is shallow by doing</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">git config -f .gitmodules submodule.helix-syntax/languages/tree-sitter-<name>.shallow true
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>or you can manually add <code>shallow = true</code> to <code>.gitmodules</code>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="languagestoml"><a class="header" href="#languagestoml">languages.toml</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Next, you need to add the language to the <a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml"><code>languages.toml</code></a> found in the root of
|
|
the repository; this <code>languages.toml</code> file is included at compilation time, and
|
|
is distinct from the <code>language.toml</code> file in the user's <a href="guides/../configuration.html">configuration
|
|
directory</a>.</p>

<h2 id="queries"><a class="header" href="#queries">Queries</a></h2>
|

<p>For a language to have syntax-highlighting and indentation among other things, you have to add queries. Add a directory for your language with the path <code>runtime/queries/<name>/</code>. The tree-sitter <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#queries">website</a> gives more info on how to write queries.</p>

<h2 id="common-issues"><a class="header" href="#common-issues">Common Issues</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If you get errors when building after switching branches, you may have to remove or update tree-sitter submodules. You can update submodules by running</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">git submodule sync; git submodule update --init
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Make sure to not use the <code>--remote</code> flag. To remove submodules look inside the <code>.gitmodules</code> and remove directories that are not present inside of it.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If a parser is segfaulting or you want to remove the parser, make sure to remove the submodule <em>and</em> the compiled parser in <code>runtime/grammar/<name>.so</code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The indents query is <code>indents.toml</code>, <em>not</em> <code>indents.scm</code>. See <a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/114">this</a> issue for more information.</p>

|
|
<p>Textobjects that are language specific (<a href="guides/../usage.html#textobjects">like functions, classes, etc</a>)
|
|
require an accompanying tree-sitter grammar and a <code>textobjects.scm</code> query file
|
|
to work properly. Tree-sitter allows us to query the source code syntax tree
|
|
and capture specific parts of it. The queries are written in a lisp dialect.
|
|
More information on how to write queries can be found in the <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#query-syntax">official tree-sitter
|
|
documentation</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Query files should be placed in <code>runtime/queries/{language}/textobjects.scm</code>
|
|
when contributing. Note that to test the query files locally you should put
|
|
them under your local runtime directory (<code>~/.config/helix/runtime</code> on Linux
|
|
for example).</p>
