I'm asking because I noticed slight pixel misalignments in some of the videos. For example, in the File Explorer demo, the window border isn't a solid outline—it has small gaps in the frame. I’m wondering if using a terminal like Ghostty might fix that.

> Other editors, if the content is not on the screen, will not perform the undo action unless the content is actually visible. Really? What editor does this? Vim/Neovim definitely will undo the change with a single 'u' press, and every GUI editor I've ever used will undo the change immediately with a single ctrl+z.
Ah, thanks for the correction. I'm wrong on how common this is. I just tested CLion, VS Code, and Sublime Text. I thought all three behaved as described, but only CLion did. I wish it was more common though, I find it a lot more intuitive and clear on what's happening.
Does anyone know which terminal is being used in the screencast? I'm asking because I noticed slight pixel misalignments in some of the videos.

Congrats! I am happy for helix but i don't think it's a good fit for me. I use Neovim. It does what i want it to do. It's one of the best available options. But, i am not completely satisfied with it. I personally want an editor with following: * Modern codebase. Written from scratch. * VIM Keybindings: I have muscle memory of Vim. I would like to use Vim Keybindings in my editor. I don't want to use any other keybin…
Very nice to see a text editor that is very capable, yet still minimal and not focused on including a bunch of useless AI features.

Its not very clear to me which of these Helix hasnt hit. To me it looks like Helix is very close to what you are looking for.

It looks very interesting and I'd love to support it, but editors that must be modal are difficult for me to use, personally. Editors that are not modal can be made modal, but can modal editors be made non-modal?
Have you ever used a modal editor? It takes the smallest bit of brain training to adapt, but feels more logical for long form coding. I spend a lot more time reading code than writing. Having more tools to grep/highlight/move text in one mode is quite productive.
It's not that it's difficult for me, it's that it's unnatural for me.
Different people's minds work differently.

Helix is strongly inspired by vim, but it is not attempting to be a drop-in replacement, and it is not possible to configure it to have the same behavior as vim with custom key-bindings because there are many things that work fundamentally differently between the two editors.
I love Helix, I highly recommend it to anyone who never quite got on board with vim but likes the idea of it. I found it much easier to learn and use, and it is distinguished from other vimlikes in that it's got a useful starting configuration.
