I'm not using Zed like full time. I just have it installed just in case I need it for something like else. And I'm not using Knicks. Um, everything else I'm using though, like full time.

Yeah, it's very much inspired by Vim and Cocoon and they like kind of flipped like Vim has like a motion verb sort of deal and like Helix is a motion like noun verb sort of deal, right? You don't say the verb of what you want to do and then the noun of what you want to do it on, you say the noun of what you want to do and then the verb they want to do.

So, it's like sort of backwards but it's very Vim-like, it feels like Vim. It just kind of has first class for selections. So, it's kind of like you're almost always in visual mode in a sense in Helix and then you like enter insert mode to do your thing. I really like it though. It's, it's got a lot of batteries included for like LSP and tree sitter and things like that nature.

I was very surprised to see that you changed your terminal because you were very adamant on saying, I think on what, iTerm or Terminal app? I forget what you were on.

So I don't, I don't use that, but I heard it's really nice.

Yeah, I'm running GNOME and it feels pretty native for a GNOME app. But those that are on like KDE or something else probably are like, this is not native. But, you know, Linux doesn't really have a definition of native anyway. So it's hard to do that.
