Fork of Helix which adds support for Github-copilot

To use:

1. Setup the copilot-lsp using my helper script:

  1. Install fish (for my script), install node.js (which runs the copilot-lsp)

  2. Run fish copilot.fish --create-lsp
    This will download the copilot-lsp and put its in /usr/local/bin/ (if you haven’t already)

  3. Run fish copilot.fish --auth
    This will create a github copilot-lsp access code in ~/.config/github-copilot/hosts.json (if one doesn't already exist)

2. Choose keybindings to map to these copilot-commands, for example:

[keys.insert]
"C-w" = "copilot_apply_completion" 
"C-e" = "copilot_show_completion"

[keys.normal]
"C-e" = "copilot_toggle_auto_render"

[editor]
copilot-auto-render = false # defaults to true if omitted

3. Run helix with copilot: hx -a

With helix started with this flag ommited (eg hx), the copilot-lsp is not started at all and no completions are requested.

With helix started with hx -a, copilot-completions are requested from the copilot-lsp when entering insert mode, and anytime that the document changes while in insert mode (typing a character, deleting a word etc).

With copilot-auto-render = true, completions are rendered immediately after they are received from the copilot-lsp.

With copilot-auto-render = false, a completion will only render if copilot_show_completion is pressed after the completion was first requested. This behaviour then resets after the next completion is requested.

Screenshot

A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the website or documentation.

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.

Troubleshooting

Features

  • Vim-like modal editing
  • Multiple selections
  • Built-in language server support
  • Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
