  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

    I also use Helix full time, I really like it, especially the multi cursor features. I was a neovim user before, but I did not enjoy configuring my editor all the time. I like Helix config defaults, LSP works out of the box, the commands are a bit longer to type, but more logical. I cannot work without a file tree, I settled with the tree explorer fork[1] and I'm happy with it.

  • LunarVim

    🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

    I used Helix for a while due to its support for LSP out-of-the-box, which my Vim config at the time couldn't live up to. I switched back to NeoVim after finding LunarVim[1] which had everything I was trying to get setup in my own config.

  • joshuto

    ranger-like terminal file manager written in Rust

  • schemastore

    A collection of JSON schema files including full API

    Command palette - i don't know what you are using it for, but nearly every modal editor like (neo)vi(m) has a "command line" when pressing ':' where you can run helix commands https://docs.helix-editor.com/commands.html

    With helix you can get most of the vscode features, except debugging, extensions and file management, though most of the extensions can be replaced with some other tools (depends heavily on what the extension does, can't be generalized). A plugin system is currently on the roadmap and is being worked on, but I don't think anyone could tell you when it's going to be ready.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
