        I’m coming from kakoune. Language servers are something that’s shockingly hard to get running reliably. Helix has solved this for me

          weird. I just use kakoune-lsp, and it works just fine out of the box, spare bit of copypasting from the readme on their github.

          I really like that i have to put in no effort for Helix to work, but unfortunately its just too rigid for me.

          And it also backs down on kakoune’s philosophy, returning back the necessity of selection mode. It really frustrates me in this aspect. Kakoune’s more heavy reliance on modifier keys seems way more handy and sensible to me. Helix’s way just creates unnecessary complications, and feels like a change for the sake of a change.

            Helix pretty much shares the kakoune keymap, so no idea what you mean.

            Also, plugin support using scheme is in the works. The dev still only sees it as a draft but it’s pretty usable already
