Helix Editor
Hey friends, I tried Kakoune for the first time recently—I definitely feel like it gets keybindings right. So I just wrapped up configuring Helix to (as far as I can tell) use those bindings (basically, it totally cuts out select mode and makes things much faster). Thought I'd share for anyone else interested. ```toml [keys.normal] H = "extend_char_left" J = "extend_line_down" K = "extend_line_up" L = "extend_char_right" W = "extend_next_word_start" E = "extend_next_word_end" B = "extend_prev_word_start" A-j = "join_selections" A-n = "search_prev" N = "extend_search_next" A-N = "extend_search_prev" [keys.normal.g] e = ["goto_last_line", "goto_line_end"] G = ["select_mode", "goto_file_start", "normal_mode"] [keys.normal.G] H = "extend_to_line_start" L = "extend_to_line_end" E = ["select_mode", "goto_last_line", "goto_line_end", "normal_mode"] [keys.normal.v] t = "align_view_top" b = "align_view_bottom" v = "align_view_center" ``` Happy editing!
Mostly internal changes this time
I feel like I often overselect when repeating the `x` command, but the only way I know of to fix it is `vk<esc>` which is not the most fun to type. Does anyone have a good binding or option for undoing an over-selection? I'm aware of [#3776](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/3776) but curious what workarounds people do now.

Helix supports 'metals' as a language server for Scala. Metals claims to be easy to install, yet I don't get how to install it for Helix. Anybody managed? I'd prefer to install 'metals' from source.
