I've been using the [#HelixEditor](https://hachyderm.io/tags/HelixEditor) as my daily driver for the better part of a year now and I couldn't be more happy with it. I've managed to get a near-IDE setup and experience thanks to zellij and some awesome TUI tools.
This article aligns well with my experience, I recommend reading it if you're "modal editor curious" or dissatisfied with your (neo)vim config maintenance burden.

TIL about "digraphs" in (neo)vim. Need to insert, say, an en dash, which has a digraph of -N? In insert mode, ctrl-k, hypen, N. Want to check the digraph of a character already in your file? ga to show ascii, and look at the "Digr" notation. You would see e.g. "Digr =e" for the euro symbol.

If you're using AI for coding or prose in Neovim, don't forget to try out <<https://github.com/olimorris/codecompanion.nvim>> and <<https://github.com/milanglacier/minuet-ai.nvim>>!

Both work seamlessly with local models using OpenAI compatible API, e.g., llama-server from llama.cpp <3
