I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.
I looked them all up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.
Native messaging*, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!
* do bear in mind the security implications of native messaging, as noted by the developers themselves, but you can have most of the functionality without it

I was just wondering if I am the only person among the FreeBSD users having issues with LSPs? Seems like there are many LSPs that are not working under FreeBSD. Tried to integrate some in my Neovim setup just to notice that quite a lot of them are not working or at least are not supported on FreeBSD Mason and Lazy seem to complain about everything. How are you guys dealing with this?
Exactly six months ago, I started my journey into the Neovim universe. I'm still thrilled and look forward to using it every day.
The LSPs are simply unbeatable. Getting automatic completion while writing an Ansible script is incredibly convenient. Writing a Python script on a remote machine is a joy, and having an automatically incrementing serial number in bind zones is a nice bonus. And there's so much more.
Thank you, Neovim Universe!

@b0rkJulia Evans I am absolutely not telling you what to do. I'm giving you a datapoint. I am a #Vim / #NeoVim expert. I have used Vim for ... hmm, maybe it's decades. Not sure. I use Vim key-bindings everywhere that I can. I have given talks and made YouTube videos about Vim.
I’m always trying new things. For instance, #RustLang. One thing I thought I'd try is the #HelixEditor. For a lot of people, and you may well be one, Vim/NeoVim is the right choice. If it is, I won't try to convert you. But my experience so far with Helix has been so positive, that even after decades of Vim being my favorite, it has been replaced by Helix.
I still use Vim wherever that's the right choice, for instance remote machines I don't control. But editing actual code in Helix using that language's LSP and with tree-sitter is absolutely delightful. Even the fact that Helix isn't a “finished” editor doesn't dissuade me.
At work, #Python is our main language, and we all have PyCharm. I use the Vim bindings via #IdeaVim. I prefer Helix even to that.
So there's your datapoint. Maybe someone you know well and trust has an opinion that sheds more light on the two editors.
@mathiasMathias Fußenegger huh I tried the instructions in :help lsp-quickstart but couldn't figure out how to get it to actually display any error messages from the linter, probably I'm doing something obvious wrong

Sure it's open source, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but giving means it will be around for a long time.
