Helix

To install the Slint Language server, check the LSP Documentation.

Helix works out of the box without further configuration. To check if Helix detects Slint Language server successfully, run this command:

Terminal window
hx --health slint
bash

The output should be like:

Configured language servers:
✓ slint-lsp: /home/user/.local/bin/slint-lsp
Configured debug adapter: None
Configured formatter: None
Highlight queries: ✓
Textobject queries: ✓
Indent queries: ✓
plaintext

To open the live preview, place the caret over a component name and trigger the code actions (bound to <space>a by default). Depending on your configuration, this action might be bound to something else, so please check your configuration for the appropriate key binding (code_action).
