query cursors, but always allocated a new one
- Auto-formatting is now only on for certain languages
- The root directory is now provided in LSP initialization, fixing
certain language servers (typescript)
- LSP failing to start no longer panics
- Elixir language queries were fixed
# 0.0.10
Keymaps:
- Add mappings to jump to diagnostics

2. License Grants and Conditions
--------------------------------
2.1. Grants
Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive license:
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
as part of a Larger Work; and
(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
Contributions or its Contributor Version.
2.2. Effective Date
The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
distributes such Contribution.
2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
Contributor:
(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
or
(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
Version); or
(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
its Contributions.
This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
2.4. Subsequent Licenses
No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
2.5. Representation
Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
2.6. Fair Use
This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
equivalents.
2.7. Conditions
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
in Section 2.1.
3. Responsibilities
-------------------
3.1. Distribution of Source Form
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
Form.
3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).
3.4. Notices
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
3.5. Application of Additional Terms
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
5. Termination
--------------
5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.
5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.
5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.
************************************************************************
* *
* 6. Disclaimer of Warranty *
* ------------------------- *
* *
* Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" *
* basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or *
* statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the *
* Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a *
* particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the *
* quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. *
* Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You *
* (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, *
* repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an *
* essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is *
* authorized under this License except under this disclaimer. *
* *
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
* *
* 7. Limitation of Liability *
* -------------------------- *
* *
* Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort *
* (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any *
* Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as *
* permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, *
* special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character *
* including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of *
* goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any *
* and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party *
* shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This *
* limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or *
* personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the *
* extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some *
* jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of *
* incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and *
* limitation may not apply to You. *
* *
************************************************************************
8. Litigation
-------------
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
cross-claims or counter-claims.
9. Miscellaneous
----------------
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
10. Versions of the License
---------------------------
10.1. New Versions
Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
distinguishing version number.
10.2. Effect of New Versions
You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
steward.
10.3. Modified Versions
If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
such modified license differs from this License).
10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
Licenses
If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.
Exhibit A - Source Code Form License Notice
-------------------------------------------
This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this
file, You can obtain one at http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/.
If it is not possible or desirable to put the notice in a particular
file, then You may include the notice in a location (such as a LICENSE
file in a relevant directory) where a recipient would be likely to look
for such a notice.
You may add additional accurate notices of copyright ownership.
Exhibit B - "Incompatible With Secondary Licenses" Notice
---------------------------------------------------------
This Source Code Form is "Incompatible With Secondary Licenses", as
defined by the Mozilla Public License, v. 2.0.

A [Kakoune](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune) / [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim) inspired editor, written in Rust.
The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found
myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.
For more information, see the [website](https://helix-editor.com) or
[documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/).
All shortcuts/keymaps can be found [in the documentation on the website](https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html).

# Features
- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter
Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring
a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu.
Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check
`runtime/queries//` for `indents.scm`.

# Contributing
Contributors are very welcome! **No contribution is too small and all contributions are valued.**
Some suggestions to get started:
- You can look at the [good first issue][good-first-issue] label on the issue tracker.
- Help with packaging on various distributions needed!
- To use print debugging to the [Helix log file][log-file], you must:
* Print using `log::info!`, `warn!`, or `error!`. (`log::info!("helix!")`)
* Pass the appropriate verbosity level option for the desired log level. (`hx -v ` for info, more `v`s for higher verbosity)
* Want to display the logs in a separate file instead of using the `:log-open` command in your compiled Helix editor? Start your debug version with `cargo run -- --log foo.log` and in a new terminal use `tail -f foo.log`
- Instead of running a release version of Helix, while developing you may want to run in debug mode with `cargo run` which is way faster to compile
- Looking for even faster compile times? Give a try to [mold](https://github.com/rui314/mold)
- If your preferred language is missing, integrating a tree-sitter grammar for
it and defining syntax highlight queries for it is straightforward and
doesn't require much knowledge of the internals.
- If you don't use the Nix development shell and are getting your rust-analyzer binary from rustup, you may need to run `rustup component add rust-analyzer`.
This is because `rust-toolchain.toml` selects our MSRV for the development toolchain but doesn't download the matching rust-analyzer automatically.
We provide an [architecture.md][architecture.md] that should give you
a good overview of the internals.
# Auto generated documentation
Some parts of [the book][docs] are autogenerated from the code itself,
like the list of `:commands` and supported languages. To generate these
files, run
```shell
cargo xtask docgen
```
inside the project. We use [xtask][xtask] as an ad-hoc task runner.
To preview the book itself, install [mdbook][mdbook]. Then, run
```shell
mdbook serve book
```
and visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
# Testing
## Unit tests/Documentation tests
Run `cargo test --workspace` to run unit tests and documentation tests in all packages.
## Integration tests
Integration tests for helix-term can be run with `cargo integration-test`. Code
contributors are strongly encouraged to write integration tests for their code.
Existing tests can be used as examples. Helpers can be found in
[helpers.rs][helpers.rs]. The log level can be set with the `HELIX_LOG_LEVEL`
environment variable, e.g. `HELIX_LOG_LEVEL=debug cargo integration-test`.
Contributors using MacOS might encounter `Too many open files (os error 24)`
failures while running integration tests. This can be resolved by increasing
the default value (e.g. to `10240` from `256`) by running `ulimit -n 10240`.
## Minimum Stable Rust Version (MSRV) Policy
Helix keeps an intentionally low MSRV for the sake of easy building and packaging
downstream. We follow [Firefox's MSRV policy]. Once Firefox's MSRV increases we
may bump ours as well, but be sure to check that popular distributions like Ubuntu
package the new MSRV version. When increasing the MSRV, update these three places:
* the `workspace.package.rust-version` key in `Cargo.toml` in the repository root
* the `env.MSRV` key at the top of `.github/workflows/build.yml`
* the `toolchain.channel` key in `rust-toolchain.toml`

This document contains a high-level overview of Helix internals.
> NOTE: Use `cargo doc --open` for API documentation as well as dependency
> documentation.
## Core
The core contains basic building blocks used to construct the editor. It is
heavily based on [CodeMirror 6](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/). The primitives
are functional: most operations won't modify data in place but instead return
a new copy.
The main data structure used for representing buffers is a `Rope`. We re-export
the excellent [ropey](https://github.com/cessen/ropey) library. Ropes are cheap
to clone, and allow us to easily make snapshots of a text state.
Multiple selections are a core editing primitive. Document selections are
represented by a `Selection`. Each `Range` in the selection consists of a moving
`head` and an immovable `anchor`. A single cursor in the editor is simply
a selection with a single range, with the head and the anchor in the same
position.
Ropes are modified by constructing an OT-like `Transaction`. It represents
a single coherent change to the document and can be applied to the rope.
A transaction can be inverted to produce an undo. Selections and marks can be
mapped over a transaction to translate to a position in the new text state after
applying the transaction.
> NOTE: `Transaction::change`/`Transaction::change_by_selection` is the main
> interface used to generate text edits.
`Syntax` is the interface used to interact with tree-sitter ASTs for syntax
highlighting and other features.
## View
The `view` layer was supposed to be a frontend-agnostic imperative library that
would build on top of `core` to provide the common editor logic. Currently it's
tied to the terminal UI.
A `Document` ties together the `Rope`, `Selection`(s), `Syntax`, document
`History`, language server (etc.) into a comprehensive representation of an open
file.
A `View` represents an open split in the UI. It holds the currently open
document ID and other related state. Views encapsulate the gutter, status line,
diagnostics, and the inner area where the code is displayed.
> NOTE: Multiple views are able to display the same document, so the document
> contains selections for each view. To retrieve, `document.selection()` takes
> a `ViewId`.
`Info` is the autoinfo box that shows hints when awaiting another key with bindings
like `g` and `m`. It is attached to the viewport as a whole.
`Surface` is like a buffer to which widgets draw themselves to, and the
surface is then rendered on the screen on each cycle.
`Rect`s are areas (simply an x and y coordinate with the origin at the
screen top left and then a height and width) which are part of a
`Surface`. They can be used to limit the area to which a `Component` can
render. For example if we wrap a `Markdown` component in a `Popup`
(think the documentation popup with space+k), Markdown's render method
will get a Rect that is the exact size of the popup.
Widgets are called `Component`s internally, and you can see most of them
in `helix-term/src/ui`. Some components like `Popup` and `Overlay` can take
other components as children.
`Layer`s are how multiple components are displayed, and is simply a
`Vec`. Layers are managed by the `Compositor`. On each top
level render call, the compositor renders each component in the order
they were pushed into the stack. This makes multiple components "layer"
on top of one another. Hence we get a file picker displayed over the
editor, etc.
The `Editor` holds the global state: all the open documents, a tree
representation of all the view splits, the configuration, and a registry of
language servers. To open or close files, interact with the editor.
## LSP
A language server protocol client.
## Term
The terminal frontend.
The `main` function sets up a new `Application` that runs the event loop.
`commands.rs` is probably the most interesting file. It contains all commands
(actions tied to keybindings).
`keymap.rs` links commands to key combinations.
## TUI / Term
TODO: document Component and rendering related stuff
## Event
The `helix-event` crate defines primitives for defining and acting on events
within the editor. "Events" cover things like opening, changing and closing of
documents, starting and stopping of language servers and more.
`helix-event` has tools for defining events and registering _hooks_ which run
any time an event is emitted. `helix-event` also provides `AsyncHook` - a tool
for running cancellable tasks which run after events with _debouncing_.
See the `AsyncHook` type for more information. Events can be created within the
`events!` macro. Synchronous hooks can be created with `register_hook!`. And
editor-wide events can be sent to hooks with `helix_event::dispatch`.

## Checklist
Helix releases are versioned in the Calendar Versioning scheme:
`YY.0M(.MICRO)`, for example, `22.05` for May of 2022, or in a patch release,
`22.05.1`. In these instructions we'll use `` as a placeholder for the tag
being published.
* Merge the PR with the release updates. That branch should:
* Update the version:
* Update the `workspace.package.version` key in `Cargo.toml`. Cargo only accepts
SemVer versions so a CalVer version of `22.07` for example must be formatted
as `22.7.0`. Patch/bugfix releases should increment the SemVer patch number. A
patch release for 22.07 would be `22.7.1`.
* Run `cargo check` and commit the resulting change to `Cargo.lock`
* Add changelog notes to `CHANGELOG.md`
* Add new `` entry in `contrib/Helix.appdata.xml` with release information according to the [AppStream spec](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Metadata-Releases.html)
* Tag and push
* Switch to master and pull
* `git tag -s -m "" -a && git push origin ` (note the `-s` which signs the tag)
* Wait for the Release CI to finish
* It will automatically turn the git tag into a GitHub release when it uploads artifacts
* Edit the new release
* Use `` as the title
* Link to the changelog and release notes
* Merge the release notes PR
* Download the macos and linux binaries and update the `sha256`s in the [homebrew formula]
* Use `sha256sum` on the downloaded `.tar.xz` files to determine the hash
* Link to the release notes in this-week-in-rust
* [Example PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/this-week-in-rust/pull/3300)
* Post to reddit
* [Example post](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/uzp5ze/helix_editor_2205_released/)
[homebrew formula]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/h/helix.rb
## Changelog Curation
The changelog is currently created manually by reading through commits in the
log since the last release. GitHub's compare view is a nice way to approach
this. For example, when creating the 22.07 release notes, this compare link
may be used
```
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/compare/22.05...master
```
Either side of the triple-dot may be replaced with an exact revision, so if
you wish to incrementally compile the changelog, you can tackle a weeks worth
or so, record the revision where you stopped, and use that as a starting point
next week:
```
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/compare/7706a4a0d8b67b943c31d0c5f7b00d357b5d838d...master
```
A work-in-progress commit for a changelog might look like
[this example](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/831adfd4c709ca16b248799bfef19698d5175e55).
Not every PR or commit needs a blurb in the changelog. Each release section
tends to have a blurb that links to a GitHub comparison between release
versions for convenience:
> As usual, the following is a summary of each of the changes since the last
> release. For the full log, check out the git log.
Typically, small changes like dependencies or documentation updates, refactors,
or meta changes like GitHub Actions work are left out.
================================================
FILE: docs/vision.md
================================================
The Helix project still has a ways to go before reaching its goals. This document outlines some of those goals and the overall vision for the project.
# Vision
An efficient, batteries-included editor you can take anywhere and be productive... if it's your kind of thing.
* **Cross-platform.** Whether on Linux, Windows, or OSX, you should be able to take your editor with you.
* **Terminal first.** Not all environments have a windowing system, and you shouldn't have to abandon your preferred editor in those cases.
* **Native.** No Electron or HTML DOM here. We want an efficient, native-compiled editor that can run with minimal resources when needed. If you're working on a Raspberry Pi, your editor shouldn't consume half of your RAM.
* **Batteries included.** Both the default configuration and bundled features should be enough to have a good editing experience and be productive. You shouldn't need a massive custom config or external executables and plugins for basic features and functionality.
* **Don't try to be everything for everyone.** There are many great editors out there to choose from. Let's make Helix *one of* those great options, with its own take on things.
# Goals
Vision statements are all well and good, but are also vague and subjective. Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of some of Helix's more concrete goals, to help give a clearer idea of the project's direction:
* **Modal.** Vim is a great idea.
* **Selection -> Action**, not Verb -> Object. Interaction models aren't linguistics, and "selection first" lets you see what you're doing (among other benefits).
* **We aren't playing code golf.** It's more important for the keymap to be consistent and easy to memorize than it is to save a key stroke or two when editing.
* **Built-in tools** for working with code bases efficiently. Most projects aren't a single file, and an editor should handle that as a first-class use case. In Helix's case, this means (among other things) a fuzzy-search file navigator and LSP support.
* **Edit anything** that comes up when coding, within reason. Whether it's a 200 MB XML file, a megabyte of minified javascript on a single line, or Japanese text encoded in ShiftJIS, you should be able to open it and edit it without problems. (Note: this doesn't mean handle every esoteric use case. Sometimes you do just need a specialized tool, and Helix isn't that.)
* **Configurable**, within reason. Although the defaults should be good, not everyone will agree on what "good" is. Within the bounds of Helix's core interaction models, it should be reasonably configurable so that it can be "good" for more people. This means, for example, custom key maps among other things.
* **Extensible**, within reason. Although we want Helix to be productive out-of-the-box, it's not practical or desirable to cram every useful feature and use case into the core editor. The basics should be built-in, but you should be able to extend it with additional functionality as needed.
* **Clean code base.** Sometimes other factors (e.g. significant performance gains, important features, correctness, etc.) will trump strict readability, but we nevertheless want to keep the code base straightforward and easy to understand to the extent we can.
