I created a crib sheet for the #Helix text editor:
https://www.bobulous.org.uk/coding/Helix-crib-sheet.html
Best viewed on a big screen.
As usual I intended the new page to be compact and concise; and as usual it ended up being huge and rambling. Hopefully it'll still be of use to people who aren't fully familiar with the most useful keys and commands. (And just maybe of vague interest to #Neovim users who are thinking about trying Helix.)
Let me know if you spot anything incorrect.
@bobulous In the LSP section you made a few mistake. Commenting is ctrl+c, not just c, and if I'm not mistaken the symbol pickers are on space+s/S not s/S.
@bobulous Also why did you separate the `[´ and `]´ section? Wouldn't it be simpler to have a simple section?
@bobulous Anyway, that's a good cheat sheet, thanks for sharing
@bobulous@fosstodon.org@robinm Were you looking at the page on a mobile/small screen by any chance? I realise now that without fancy nested borders (that only fit on a bigger screen) it wasn't clear that the "LSP actions" sections are part of the "Space menu" and "Goto menu" sections. So it wasn't clear, for example, that you already have to be in the Space menu in order to hit 'c' to comment the selected lines.
I've clarified the "LSP actions" headings to hopefully make it clearer that they belong to specific menus.
@robinm As for the '[' and ']' menus, I did think about merging them into one combined section, but then it becomes necessary to write an explanation of which menu does first/previous and which does last/next within the text for each key.
I aimed to have the text as compact as possible for each key (though in some cases it still ended up quite wordy) so I settled on giving each menu its own section on the page.
@bobulous Indeed, I was on my phone. If possible, try to add the border around the word "space" in the title to make it more obvious that you have to press this key
