Add helix shortcuts - sdball/dotfiles

C-f will run the format command which uses the current language server to format the file.

C-r will reflow (hard wrap) the current selected text to a width of 80 characters. It’s not quite as context aware as vim for wrapping contents but it’s still pretty great.

I need to figure out how to change the wrap length per language type. For example I’d like to wrap Git commit messages at 70 characters. Even more ideally wrap Git titles at 50 and bodies at 70. But this is a good start.
