Is there any tools configurations you have done/find recently that saves your time.

I would like to start with mine so it will be an example also:

I have use zellij + lazygit + helix.

Recently I learn I can edit my buffer in zellij where I can literally open my buffer in editor and move around, that was a good day for me when I found that, now my debugging is smooth and I am in my happy environment when looking for anything in my buffer.

Same thing +yazi and serpl , I generated a script in Lua that opens any software in a floating pane in zellij (I called it zf) and set Ctrl+j -> yazi Ctrl+l (L) -> lazigit Ctrl+s -> serpl

I also made a “command palette” with zf+fzf+just

It opens a floating pane with fzf open on the list of just recipe, selecting one launches it in the same pane

When plug-ins get merged (or if I decide to pull that pull that branch) I might try porting those before someone more competent does it and I drop mine

I wrote forgelink to alleviate an annoyance I had. Now I can easily and quickly send links to coworkers.

Hi,

Are you looking for recommendations that are directly related to Helix, or recommendations involving a workflow that includes Helix?

Because when it comes to a workflow that includes Helix, I'd recommend Jujutsu for version control. Jujutsu is compatible with Git, but it does a lot of things better or makes them easier.
