Helix editor for Bevy

[nixon-voxell]

for the editor part, I find Helix to be quite suitable for bevy workflow. Hopefully someone can add something about it. I can help contribute too if needed.

Yes. I know nothing about it. If you have useful tips/instructions/info, please provide them here.

So far, in the book, I have only created empty/placeholder pages for the most popular editors (like Vim/Emacs) even though I know nothing about them, to hopefully encourage ppl to provide me with some content to add there. Kakoune is the editor I use, so there is a page for it, where I share my setup. Jetbrains and VSCode are there, because other people have submitted some useful stuff for me to put on the page.

If you want a page for Helix to be created, please provide content for it. This is a more niche editor, so I am not going to create a blank page like I did for Vim/Emacs.

Okay haha. Actually Helix is a battery included editor. Which means only very little setup is needed haha.

@inodentry Oh, helix is ​​an very easy-to-use editor, similar to kakoune and highly inspired by it, written in pure rust, which is 26k stars now.
You could just put the homepage：https://helix-editor.com/, and installation of lsp: rustup component add rust-analyzer.
Then everything is set up, including syntax highlighting/lsp/keybindings

Personally recommended configuration (version: 23.10)：

• ~/.config/helix/config.toml:

### Theme: Compared to onedark, I prefer zed_onedark
theme = "zed_onedark"
# theme = "nord"
# theme = "catppuccin_frappe"
# theme = "catppuccin_macchiato"
# theme = "catppuccin_mocha"

[editor]
# shell = ["nu", "-c"]
line-number = "relative"
scrolloff = 8
idle-timeout = 0
completion-trigger-len = 2
color-modes = true
bufferline = "multiple"
cursorline = true
cursorcolumn = false
auto-save = true
auto-pairs = true
auto-format = true

[editor.lsp]
display-messages = true
display-inlay-hints = true

[editor.soft-wrap]
enable = true

[editor.cursor-shape]
insert = "bar"
normal = "block"

[editor.statusline]
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"
separator = "=>"
left = ["mode", "spacer", "separator", "file-type", "read-only-indicator", "spinner"]
center = ["file-modification-indicator", "file-name", "diagnostics", "workspace-diagnostics"]
right = ["position", "separator", "spacer", "position-percentage", "spacer", "separator", "total-line-numbers"]


[editor.gutters.line-numbers]
min-width = 0

[editor.indent-guides]
render = true
skip-levels = 0

[editor.whitespace.render]
space = "none"
tab = "none"
newline = "none"

[editor.whitespace.characters]
space = "·"
nbsp = "⍽"
tab = "→"
newline = "⏎"
tabpad = "·" # Tabs will look like "→···" (depending on tab width)

[editor.smart-tab]
enable = true

• ~/.config/helix/languages.toml:

[[language]]
name = "rust"
auto-format = true

[language-server.rust-analyzer.config.check]
command = "clippy"

Feel free to use or just ignore what I said above.
