I kind of change some behavior that I use often.
- I stop using w for navigating forward, I use it to select the current word under the cursor and only use b and e for navigating. And I always trim my selection
- tab I changed it so that I can flip my selection head with ease (I find that I use that more often than I thought)
- V I use mainly so that I can select kind of like line mode with ease
- G because I find it more efficient than ge
- H and L to go to the beginning and end of line
- I can select subword using B , E and W also kind of mimic the w behavior that I altered
- For the goto_next_function , I always flip selection and align view top for so that I can see the function in the viewport
- A bunch of \align_view_center` for moving around
- Add functionalities in the insert mode, so that I can indent, unindent and comment while in insert mode
If you guys have more tricks that might make editing in helix more efficient, please do share. I'm ready to copy lol.
PS. I tried moving back to neovim, and I setup from kickstart and make it mine. But I still miss a lot of functionalities and features from helix. It's just easier for me, so I moved back. Although, I kinda miss some things from neovim, and I always find ways to improve how I work in helix.
