Branch: pkgsrc-2022Q4, Version: 22.12, Package name: helix-22.12, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Helix is a modal text editor with built-in support for multiple selections,
Language Server Protocol (LSP), tree-sitter, and experimental support for
Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). Its main features include:

- Multiple cursors as a core editing primitive, inspired by Kakoune. Commands
manipulate selections which allows concurrent code editing.

- Tree-sitter produces error tolerant and robust syntax trees, which enables
better syntax highlighting, indent calculation and code navigation.

- Navigate and select functions, classes, comments, etc and select syntax
tree nodes instead of plain text.

- Language specific auto completion, goto definition, documentation,
diagnostics and other IDE features with no additional configuration.

- No Electron. No VimScript. No JavaScript. Use it over ssh, tmux, or a plain
terminal. Your laptop battery life will thank you.

- Fuzzy finder to jump to files and symbols, project wide search, beautiful
themes, auto closing bracket pairs, surround integration and more.
