#Vim #NeoVim has #Surround plugin. #HelixEditor has it built in. The Helix version doesn’t do "surround with function". I started a discussion on the Helix Discussion board, but privately forked and cloned and started experimenting. Just when I finally got a response in the discussion, I finally had close to a working prototype.

The response showed the keystrokes to do it in Helix as it is now, and they were reasonable. Using Nik Revenco’s way was a better match for Helix’ "vision" as expressed in their Vision.md doc.

I learned a lot from prototyping a command (in #RustLang #Rust) within Helix (in particular, how to make a prompt in the editor and get a string from the user was a big thing for me), but I ended up throwing it away. I was wrong.

I’m really starting to like Helix, but like Rust, I have so much to learn. Still experimenting, still learning for both.

I'm just learning Helix. I'm an experienced software engineer and long-time Vim/NeoVim user. Using the surround facility inside Helix, I don't see the ability to surround the selection with a funct...

It happened! @meilisearch.com reached 50k stars on GitHub 🤩 we are still the second most-started search engine. Elasticsearch, we are coming for you.

The initial nova-core driver stub was merged to mainline for 6.15[1].

is going to be a driver for 's modern GPUs written in . It is the successor of the kernel driver and serve as base for drivers like .

The core driver stub is not really useful for anything yet. But that should change soon – and I guess will be the turning point that'll sell for Linux to the world. 🥳
