This is Zed's official roadmap and progress tracker for porting Zed to Linux. Contributor Guide There's a lot of surface area to cover and we would love contributions for anything from fixing a sma...
Crossing my fingers that someone will step up to create a Flatpak 🤞
So now we have Lapce, Cosmic-Edit, Helix (vim clone) and Zed, all in Rust. Nice!
If only Helix would have vim mappings and a plugin system, it would kill neovim over night...
In it's current state, it's only suitable for people who don't need any plugins. So if you want a plugin for picking a virtual environment in python for example, you just can't do it in Helix.
I don't know, to me it's really limited without any form of plugins. I truly wish it had a plugin system because tons of people would write high quality rust plugins.
That's a weird way to look at the projects, in my opinion ("if only X had Y, it would kill Z...").
Helix and Neovim have different approaches to editing, configuration, etc. They don't need to be competing for users. Neovim can exist for the people who want an editor with Neovim's ideas, same for Helix, and that's just fine.
I think it’s possible to remap Helix to be almost (if not completely) Vim-like. I got it to be (I think completely) Kakoune-like with like 15 lines in my config.
wasn't this a mac only editor? Or am I confused with another?
It was. There's a partially working Linux build available and it looks like they're trying to port to windows too
It is but they’ve been making huge leaps towards a Linux build and that’s what this is about
