nvim-treesitter-context VS helix

Very cool! Sort of reminds me of treesitter-context. Any chance for compatibility? An example could be you either would disable context when something is pinned or somehow displace it other, depending on which is "on top" could be neat.

It's for context and navigation, not completions. So it wouldn't replace nvim-cmp. It probably doesn't replace anything you already have unless you are already using a winbar. It combines features of treesitter-context, symbols-outline, and a file navigator but in a different presentation.

Not quite the same thing, but arguably a better alternative : https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context

For 2: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context

I really like nvim-treesitter-context as an alternative for 1.

nvim-treesitter-context implements "sticky scroll" where, depending on where your cursor is placed, the top lines of your window will be replaced by the otherwise offscreen lines that declare what function you're in (e.g function test(...), the line that begins the current class (e.g. public class Student implements Person {), the variable name of the current table (e.g. local planets = {), etc.

Very different in my eyes, but I love nvim-treesitter-context. Definitely another tool in helping the brain parse code -- I think of it as helping with long range context, whereas blockman helps me focus on local context and makes scoping relationships more subconciously available.

I have seen https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context is recommended, and it works similar. But the way the context info are displayed in AstroNvim is much nicer

Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...

Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.

Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
