Z arms the view keys until Esc, and zm puts the cursor's column mid-view

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Z is helix's sticky view mode: the z keys stay armed after each until Esc, which leaves the mode and does nothing else (no pane hop). zm is align_view_middle: an unwrapped view scrolls sideways so the cursor's column is in its middle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Q records keys into a register and q types them again; . repeats the last insert

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Macro.zig keeps keys to be typed again. Q records into @ (or ") in helix's key notation until the next Q; q replays a register's keys count times through the modal handling, where Esc does not hop panes and Enter, Tab and Space neither look, execute nor open the leader. . replays the normal command that entered the last insert session once and what was typed in it count times (helix repeat_last_insert). a at the end of the text now adds the newline helix's append_mode does, which a terminal's text does not. helix-golf's invert_dictionary passes.

Backspace in a line's leading blanks goes back to the previous indent stop

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix's delete_char_backward dedents: when everything before the cursor on its line is blank, it deletes back to the previous multiple of the indent width, a whole unit when already on one (a tab before the cursor still goes alone). pardes deleted one space, so O under an indented line left three of four, which is where helix-golf's function_into_class ended up.

Refactor panes and filesystem; replace FUSE with 9P

2026-09-07T16:59:12Z

Consolidate pane, layout, memory and host code. Serve 9P by default over Unix sockets, with runtime mounts and optional TCP/QUIC transports. Remove FUSE and obsolete proof-of-concept examples. Fix highlighting and terminal-history performance, expand differential and stress-test infrastructure, sort navigation results while preserving the next occurrence, add syntax-colored Braille minimaps, remove SPC-k, and document 9P interaction as a repository skill.

multiple cursors, regex selection, and Ctrl-c comments

2026-08-01T18:02:08Z

The primary cursor stays exactly where it was — cur_row/cur_col plus vsel — and sels[] holds helix's OTHER ranges. That split is why nothing moved at one cursor: with nsel == 0 not one line of the existing motion, operator, render or mouse code takes a different branch, which is what protects 800 differential cases and 67 goldens. paneRanges/setPaneRanges are the whole list; setPaneRanges IS helix's Selection::new (min width 1, sorted, overlaps merged, primary follows its range through a merge). An ordinary key runs the single-selection handler once per range, visited last-first so an edit never disturbs a range still waiting, and each finished pass is remembered as a distance from the END of the text, which an earlier edit cannot move — helix's change mapping without a change map. pushUndo fires once per keystroke, yanks accumulate, and a builtin acts from the primary and stops the replay, which also closes the use-after-free window if it frees the pane. s and S reuse the / prompt wholesale rather than growing a second one: the pattern is typed into the tag tail, and every keystroke re-runs the match from the selection the prompt opened on, so the preview is live and Esc is just the empty pattern. mvzr does runtime patterns — a bytecode VM in a fixed-size struct with no allocator — with 64 ops and 8 char classes per pattern, no case-insensitive flag (helix's smart case is done by folding a scratch copy), no captures, no multi-line anchors. The last two are the two waivers. Ctrl-c is a whole-list key and not a per-cursor replay, because helix decides comment-vs-uncomment ONCE for the whole selection; replaying it would take that decision n times. Comment tokens are a table in config.zig keyed on the same extension syntax.zig picks grammars by. Found and fixed a pre-existing single-cursor bug on the way: la left the cursor one cell before where the append began. helix's restore_cursor can never walk past the origin; ours backed up unconditionally. hxdiff was green before AND after — the old one-selection contract could not see it. hxdiff 360 -> 481 cases, hxparity 440 -> 561, all goldens from real helix; the harness contract now reports every range and its primary, omitted when there is one, so 359 of the 360 old goldens are byte-identical. The one that moved is o-count: helix's 2o really does leave two cursors and could not say so before.
