now that we use zellij we can do the same with
C-l = ":sh zellij run -f -x 10% -y 10% --width 80% --height 80% -- lazygit"
I also am interested in
Great idea – I modified slightly:
C-l = ":sh zellij run -f -x 5% -y 5% --width 90% --height 90% -- bash -c \"lazygit && zellij action close-
pane\""
maybe use sh instead of bash

Helix 25.01 release
A few features that stand out:
Inline diagnostics
Add the following to ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[editor.inline-diagnostics]
# Minimum severity to show a diagnostic on the primary cursor's line.
# Note that `cursor-line` diagnostics are hidden in insert mode.
cursor-line = "error"
# Minimum severity to show a diagnostic on other lines:
other-lines = "error"
And you get nice inline diags like:
Picker columns
Some pickers now have columns, such as the symbol picker as shown below:
You can filter on the kind column by: %kind method

:lsp-restart
One thing I’ve been using a bit lately in helix is:
:lsp-restart
In Zephyr, when I change my build target, everything changes in the build, so it is useful to do a full restart on the clang LSP.
In Elm, after I install a new Elm package, seems we need to restart the LSP for things to work properly.
Being able to restart the language server without restarting the editor is super useful – kind of like :config-reload.
The first every crash I’ve observed in Helix after ~1year of very heavy use.
helix
thread 'main' panicked at helix-core/src/transaction.rs:499:9:
Positions [(6595, AfterSticky), (6596, BeforeSticky)] are out of range for changeset len 4628!
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
It also interesting to me how different programming environments respond to problems. The worst is a crash with some cryptic message like “seg fault”. Seems Rust is doing some better and has the provision to display a backtrace.
I have seen crash when I try to start helix in a non-existent directory, e.g. in a shell you might be in a directory which has been deleted from another shell. Trying to start helix crashes
v25.07 released
Arch has it in the feeds already.
So far, the big difference for me is the file browser (space-e). It works similar to the file finder.
Word completion just got merged – that is one of the features I miss the most from Vim.
