Disabling modes

[raphhawk]

Is there a functionality to disable modes in helix, i am used to using Z-z for save quit in vim and i want to achieve the same in helix and i also feel like helix is getting too verbose with all the key binding suggestions.

You can set editor.auto-info to false:

# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[editor]
auto-info = false

Thanks for replying.

the suggestions are not showing now but how to implement the Z-z save quit functionality.

I found this as a solution.

[keys.normal]
Z = {Z = ":wq"}

But its very slow.

You might like to add Q:

Z = { Z = ":wq", Q = ":q!" } # save and quit, quit without saving

I think the only reason it would be slow if you were closing a language server... try it on a text file with no language server.

I guessed so. Anyway thankyou for the info.
