Helix: a post-modern modal text editor

I’m looking for jumping to definitions, etc. In a dynamic language. ruby.

In IntelliJ command B will take me where something is defied, be it system library or in code base. Not perfect but close.

I’ve not had luck getting vim to do this.

Vim has supported jump to definition via `ctags` for decades, works great for Ruby. Here's a tutorial from ThoughtBot (https://thoughtbot.com/upcase/videos/intelligent-navigation-...).

Vim also supports the same LSP implementations that VSCode uses via Coc.nvim (https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim), which provides the same code navigation features that VSCode has, including jump to definition.
