18 Welcome to the Helix tutorial!
19 Press the j key until you reach the introduction.
23=================================================================
25=================================================================
27 Welcome to the Helix editor! Helix is different from editors
28 you might be used to in that it is modal, meaning that it has
29 different modes for editing text. The primary modes you will
30 use are Normal mode and Insert mode. While in Normal mode, the
31 keys you type won't actually type text. Instead, they will
32 perform various actions with the text. This allows for more
33 efficient editing. This tutor will teach you how you can make
34 use of Helix's modal editing features. To begin, ensure your
35 CapsLock key is not pressed and hold the j key until you reach
45=================================================================
46= 1.1 BASIC CURSOR MOVEMENT =
47=================================================================
51 ← h l → * l is on the right
52 j * j looks like a down arrow
55 The cursor can be moved using the h, j, k, l keys, as shown
56 above. The cursor / arrow keys will also work, but it is faster
57 to use the hjkl keys as they are closer to the other keys you
58 will be using. Try moving around to get a feel for hjkl.
59 Once you're ready, hold j to continue to the next lesson.
67=================================================================
69=================================================================
71 1. Type : to enter Command mode. Your cursor will
72 move to the bottom of the screen.
73 2. Type q or quit and press Enter to exit Helix.
75 Note: The quit command will fail if there are unsaved changes.
76 To force quit and DISCARD these changes, type q! or quit!.
77 You will learn how to save files later.
79 To exit Command mode without entering a command, press Escape.
81 Now, move on to the next lesson.
89=================================================================
91=================================================================
93 Type the d key to delete the character under the cursor.
95 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
96 2. Move the cursor to each extra character, and type d to
99 --> Thhiss senttencee haass exxtra charracterss.
100 This sentence has extra characters.
102 Once the sentence is correct, move on to the next lesson.
111=================================================================
113=================================================================
115 Type the i key to enter Insert mode.
117 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
118 2. Move to a place in the line which is missing text and type
119 i to enter Insert mode. Keys you type will now type text.
120 3. Enter the missing text.
121 4. Press Escape to exit Insert mode and return to Normal mode.
122 5. Repeat until the line matches the line below it.
125 This sentence is missing some text.
127 Note: The status bar will display your current mode.
128 Notice that when you type i, 'NOR' changes to 'INS'.
133=================================================================
135=================================================================
137 Type :w / :write to save a file.
139 1. Exit Helix using :q! as explained before, or open a new
141 2. Open a file in Helix by running: hx FILENAME
142 3. Make some edits to the file.
143 4. Type : to enter Command mode.
144 5. Type w or write, and press Enter to save the file.
146 You can also type wq or write-quit to save and exit.
148 Note: You can optionally enter a filepath after the w / write
149 command in order to save to that path.
150 Note: If there are any unsaved changes to a file, a plus [+]
151 will appear next to the file name in the status bar.
155=================================================================
157=================================================================
159 * Use the h,j,k,l keys to move the cursor.
161 * Type : to enter Command mode.
162 * The q / quit and q! / quit! commands will exit Helix. The
163 former fails when there are unsaved changes. The latter
165 * The w / write command will save the file.
166 * The wq / write-quit command will do both.
168 * Type d to delete the character at the cursor.
170 * Type i to enter Insert mode and type text. Press Escape to
171 return to Normal mode.
177=================================================================
178= 2.1 MORE INSERT COMMANDS =
179=================================================================
181 As you saw, you can type i to enter Insert mode at the current
182 position of the cursor. There are a few other ways you can
183 enter Insert mode at different locations.
185 Common examples of insertion commands include:
186 i - Insert before the selection.
187 a - Insert after the selection. (a means 'append')
188 I - Insert at the start of the line.
189 A - Insert at the end of the line.
191 1. Move to anywhere in the line marked '-->' below.
192 2. Type A (Shift-a), your cursor will move to the end of
193 the line and you will be able to type.
194 3. Type the text necessary to match the line below.
196 --> This sentence is miss
197 This sentence is missing some text.
199=================================================================
201=================================================================
203 Type o to add a newline and insert below the cursor.
204 Type O to add a newline and insert above the cursor.
206 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
207 2. Type o to open a line below and type your answer.
209 --> What is the best editor?
221=================================================================
223=================================================================
225 * Type a to append to the selection.
227 * Type I to enter Insert mode at the first non-whitespace
228 character at the start of a line.
230 * Type A to enter Insert mode at the end of a line.
232 * Use o and O to open lines below and above the cursor respectively.
243=================================================================
244= 3.1 MOTIONS AND SELECTIONS =
245=================================================================
247 Type w to select forward until the next word.
249 The d key doesn't actually delete the character at the cursor,
250 it deletes all selected text. Your cursor is like a
251 single-character selection.
253 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
254 2. Move to the beginning of a word that needs to be deleted.
255 3. Type w to select until the beginning of the next word.
256 4. Type d to delete the selection.
257 5. Repeat for all extra words in the line.
259 --> This sentence pencil has vacuum extra words in the it.
260 This sentence has extra words in it.
265=================================================================
267=================================================================
269 As you saw, typing w moves the cursor forward until the start
270 of the next word, selecting the text traversed. This is useful
271 for moving around text and for selecting text to operate on.
273 Some common motions include:
274 w - Move forward to before the beginning of the next word.
275 e - Move forward to the end of the current word.
276 b - Move backward to the beginning of the current word.
278 To select the word under cursor, combine e and b.
280 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
281 2. Move to a 'd' letter.
282 3. Type e to select a half of the word.
283 4. Type b to select the rest.
285--> The Middle Kingdom.
287=================================================================
288= 3.3 WORDS AND words =
289=================================================================
291 The w,e,b motions also have counterparts - W,E,B - which
292 traverse WORDS instead of words. WORDS are only separated by
293 whitespace, whereas words can be separated by other characters
294 in addition to whitespace.
296 1. Move the cursor to the beginning of the line marked with '-->'.
297 2. Type w repeatedly to select individual words until you
298 reach the end of the line.
299 3. Note that 'one-of-a-kind' required 7 keystrokes to be
300 traversed. '"modal"' required 3 keystrokes.
301 4. Move the cursor back to beginning of the line marked '-->'.
302 5. Type W repeatedly to select individual WORDS.
303 6. Note that 'one-of-a-kind' and '"modal"' have been selected
304 both with one keystroke each.
306--> Helix is a one-of-a-kind "modal" text editor
309=================================================================
310= 3.4 THE CHANGE COMMAND =
311=================================================================
313 Type c to change the current selection.
315 The change command deletes the current selection and enters
316 Insert mode, so it is a very common shorthand for di.
318 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
319 2. Move to the start of an incorrect word and type w to
321 3. Type c to delete the word and enter Insert mode.
322 4. Type the correct word.
323 5. Repeat until the line matches the line below it.
325 --> This paper has heavy words behind it.
326 This sentence has incorrect words in it.
331=================================================================
332= 3.5 COUNTS WITH MOTIONS =
333=================================================================
335 Type a number before a motion to repeat it that many times.
337 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
338 2. Type 2w to move 2 words forward.
339 3. Type 3e to move to the end of the third word forward.
340 4. Type 2b to move 2 words backwards
341 5. Try the above with different numbers.
343 --> This is just a line with words you can move around in.
353=================================================================
354= 3.6 SELECT / EXTEND MODE =
355=================================================================
357 Type v to enter Select mode.
358 Type v again or Escape to return to Normal mode
359 In Select mode every movement will extend the selection, as
360 opposed to replacing it.
362 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
363 2. Move to the F of FOO and type v2w to select the two words.
364 3. Type d to remove the two words. Notice d returns you to
366 4. Move to the B of BAZ and repeat the sequence to delete them.
368 --> Remove the FOO BAR distracting words BAZ BIZ from this line.
375=================================================================
376= 3.7 SELECTING LINES =
377=================================================================
379 Type x to select a whole line. Type x again to select the next.
381 1. Move the cursor to the second line marked '-->' below.
382 2. Type x to select the line, and d to delete it.
383 3. Move to the fourth line.
384 4. Type x twice or type 2x to select 2 lines, and d to delete.
386 --> 1) Roses are red,
388 --> 3) Violets are blue,
390 --> 5) Clocks tell time,
391 --> 6) Sugar is sweet,
392 --> 7) And so are you.
394 Note : X works similarly to x although it doesn't extend to
395 subsequent lines. X on an empty line does nothing.
397=================================================================
398= 3.8 COLLAPSING SELECTIONS =
399=================================================================
401 Type ; to collapse selections to single cursors.
403 Sometimes, you want to deselect without having to move the
404 cursor(s). This can be done using the ; key.
406 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
407 2. Use the motions you have learned to move around the line,
408 and try using ; to deselect the text after it is selected
411 --> This is an error-free line with words to move around in.
413 Note: This works the same in Select mode.
414 Note: Another related command is Alt-; which flips selections.
419=================================================================
421=================================================================
423 * Type w to select forward until the next word.
424 * Type e to select to the end of the current word.
425 * Type b to select backward to the start of the current word.
426 * Use uppercase counterparts, W,E,B, to traverse WORDS.
428 * Type d to delete the entire selection.
429 * Type c to delete the selection and enter Insert mode.
431 * Type a number before a motion to repeat it that many times.
433 * Type v to enter Select mode, where all motions extend the
436 * Type x to select the entire current line. Type x again to
437 select the next line.
439 * Type semicolon ( ; ) to collapse selection.
441=================================================================

445 Type u to undo. Type U to redo.
447 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
448 2. Move to the first error, and type d to delete it.
449 3. Type u to undo your deletion.
450 4. Fix all the errors on the line.
451 5. Type u several times to undo your fixes.
452 6. Type U (Shift-u) several times to redo your fixes.
454 --> Fiix the errors on thhis line and reeplace them witth undo.
463=================================================================
464= 4.2 COPYING AND PASTING TEXT =
465=================================================================
467 Type y to yank (copy) the selection.
468 Type p to paste the yanked selection after the cursor.
469 Type P to paste the yanked text before the cursor.
471 1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
472 Make sure your cursor is on the "b" of banana.
473 2. Type w to select "banana" and y to yank it.
474 3. Move to the space between "2" and "3" and type p to paste.
475 4. Repeat between "3" and "4".
478 1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4
480 Note: Whenever you delete or change text, Helix will copy the
481 altered text. Use Alt-d / Alt-c instead to avoid this.
482 Note: Helix doesn't share the system clipboard by default. Type
483 Space + y / p to yank / paste on the system's clipboard.
485=================================================================
486= 4.3 SEARCHING IN FILE =
487=================================================================
489 Type / to search forward in file, Enter to confirm search.
490 Type n to go to the next search match.
491 Type N to go to the previous search match.
493 1. Type / and type in a common word, like 'banana'.
494 2. Press Enter to confirm the search.
495 3. Use n and N to cycle through the matches.
497 Searching uses regular expressions, allowing you to target more
498 complex expressions, which you'll learn about in the lesson on
501 Note: To search backwards, type ? (Shift-/).
502 Note: Unlike Vim, ? doesn't change the search direction.
503 N always goes backwards and n always goes forwards.
507=================================================================
509=================================================================
511 * Type u to undo. Type U to redo.
513 * Type y to yank (copy) text and p to paste.
514 * Use Space + y and Space + p to yank / paste on the system

538 Notice how it skips the line in the middle. Keys you type
539 will now affect both cursors.
540 3. Use Insert mode to correct the lines. The two cursors will
541 fix both lines simultaneously.
542 4. Type , to remove the second cursor.
544 --> Fix th two nes at same ime.
546 --> Fix th two nes at same ime.
547 Fix these two lines at the same time.
549 Note: Press Alt-C to do the same above the cursor.
551=================================================================

586 --> This sentence has some extra spaces.
587 This sentence has some extra spaces.
589 Note: If you want to perform find-and-replace, the select
590 command is the way to do it. Select the text you want
591 to replace in — type % to select the whole file — and
592 then perform the steps explained above.
595=================================================================
596= 5.4 ALIGN SELECTIONS =
597=================================================================

905=================================================================
907 * Type " to select a different register.
909 * Type Q to start and stop recording a macro to a register,
912 * Type q to replay a macro from @ or the selected register.
925=================================================================
926= 9.1 SEARCHING FOR SELECTIONS =
927=================================================================
929 The most recent search with / is stored in register /.
930 n and N both refer to register /, this means we can set that
931 register without having to type in a search.
933 Type * to copy the selection into register /, setting the search
934 term to the selection. This copies the primary selection, which
