#microeditor — Public Fediverse posts

Back when I was looking at switching command line editors, #MicroEditor had top notch mouse support, while #HelixEditor had first class #TreeSitter and #LanguageServerProtocol support (and I wanted both).

My hunch was improving mouse support in hx was much more doable (correct, as that PR showed - but it never got accepted), and I've been using hx.

Meanwhile LSP support doesn't seem to have improved much in Micro, sadly. eg LSP feature request https://github.com/micro-editor/micro/issues/1138 opened in 2018 and closed in frustration in 2023, and discussion https://github.com/micro-editor/micro/discussions/3231 links to several since abandoned plugins, but also https://github.com/Andriamanitra/mlsp/

@b0rk thanks for sharing this. I’d already had a play with the #HelixEditor (impressive first class #LanguageServerProtocol support) and had a look tonight at the #MicroEditor (nice mouse support, assorted plugins but no official channel). Neither seems a perfect match but with a little personalisation either might serve - precisely your wider point about effort and configuration 😉

The correlations between #typesetting engines to their #terminal text editors are irrefutable:

* #TeXLaTeX is #emacs.
* #SILE is #neovim.
* #Typst is #helix.
* #WeasyPrint is #nano.
* #Speedata is #microeditor

Now back to your regularly scheduled indentation.
