Last updated:
Reference:helix-editor.com

Usage ​

The default search is smart, case insensitive if search pattern is all lower case, case sensitive otherwise. To force a mode, prepend the search with:

  • (?-i): Case sensitive search
  • (?i): Case insensitive search

Truecolor ​

When accessing helix in a remote server (through SSH, for example), one may need to set the COLORTERM to get truecolor support.

fish
set -gx COLORTERM truecolor

Configuration ​

Project specific ​

Create a .helix folder in the project's root directory.

To override the languages.toml configuration, for example, create it inside the .helix folder.

Vue language server ​

To update the language server, update languages.toml (read more here).
