Installation

Right now, Helix plugins are available only as a pull request, which you will have to build to use.

Build Helix with the plugin system:

git clone git@github.com:mattwparas/helix.git helix-plugin
cd helix-plugin
git checkout 081f9e86ed63fe738c609e0fc944db10c150d4fd

Install Steel and the forge package manager:

Install the plugin itself:

forge pkg install --git https://github.com/nik-rev/ghost-text.hx.git

Add it in your ~/.config/helix/init.scm:

(require "ghost-text/ghost-text.scm")

The above will add the :ghost-text-start and :ghost-text-stop commands automatically.
