Bug#1024683: ITP: helix - efficient console-based modal text editor



Hi Federico,

Quoting Federico Ceratto (2024-06-30 09:54:06)

Package name hx was chosen to match the binary executable.

Do you suggest to also rename the binary executable to helix-editor?

Otherwise I can only see that your suggested package renaming will
(slightly) *raise* the risk of namespace collisions, by introducing an
additional namespace while still occupying the shorter hx namespace.
