    Helix’s autocomplete is too bad for me to be able to like it

      what do you mean? Helix uses LSP servers, usually the same ones used by Vim and VS Code.

      were you using it without the LSP’s installed? If you were, then you would only get completion based of the treesitter grammars, which would be very limited.

        no, the autocomplete trigger is rly bad and triggers when moving the cursor around instead of when you actually type It’s a documented problem and they are working on fixing it

          Ah I see. I usually only move the cursor when in command mode, so that might be why I haven’t noticed it. That’s unfortunately an issue I’ve noticed in a lot of editors. In fact, because Zed is so fast, the auto completion is super obnoxious atm and constantly flashes at you while you type.

            I know it’s the intended way but I’m too much of a modal noob for that, I’m actually working on a non-modal editor for this reason that’s similar to helix and fish philosophies
