I try to get on helix from time to time but the lack of built in terminal emulator stops me every time. What is the suggested story of going from location in compiler output in a different tab to the editor? In vs code it is just one ctrl click away.

Since it is a tui editor, a terminal split

The question is less about the split but about making my terminal (kitty) navigate into hx when I click on locations in compiler output?

Last i checked helix did not have a way to run commands and pipe results to something like quickfix. Is this a thing these days?

In Helix this is mostly meant to be mediated by language servers. That said, you can use `:pipe` and other commands to pass the current selection to arbitrary shell commands and do stuff with the output.

I just want to run a makefile command and pipe stuff to some sort of quickfix like thing. How is this related to a language server?
