From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Getting used to Helix (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm leaving text editors like vscode/codium behind to learn something more modular, like Helix. I really wanna get used to. What advices can you give me to practice? I know that there is a :tutor command, I'm almost done with it. Do anyone know if there are exercices to practice? Im looking something similar to Ruby koans, a list of excersices to solve like "puzzles" but to Helix.

Not quite what you were asking for, but there is https://tomgroenwoldt.github.io/helix-shortcut-quiz/

It's quite good for letting you know about things you didn't know you could do, but sometimes it tells me I'm wrong because I'd do it a different way - e.g. I'd go to line 13 by :13 but it wants 13G.

Also, from within Helix you can do space ? to get the list of commands and any bindings they're on.

edit: also, FYI Helix and similar are modal, not modular (although there is a plugin system on the way).

Lmao xdd Thanks. Didn't know that : could be used like a goto. I was using the g command all the time.
