Helix is a post-modern modal text editor written in Rust, inspired by Kakoune and Neovim. It ships with built-in Tree-sitter support for syntax highlighting and structural editing across dozens of languages, native LSP integration for autocompletion and diagnostics, and multiple cursors as a first-class feature. Helix requires no plugin system or configuration to be productive out of the box, offering a selection-then-action editing model that reverses the Vim paradigm.
