<h1 id="adding-textobject-queries"><a class="header" href="#adding-textobject-queries">Adding textobject queries</a></h1>
<p>Helix supports textobjects that are language specific, such as functions, classes, etc.
These textobjects require an accompanying tree-sitter grammar and a <code>textobjects.scm</code> query file
to work properly. Tree-sitter allows us to query the source code syntax tree
and capture specific parts of it. The queries are written in a lisp dialect.
More information on how to write queries can be found in the <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#query-syntax">official tree-sitter
documentation</a>.</p>
<p>Query files should be placed in <code>runtime/queries/{language}/textobjects.scm</code>
when contributing to Helix. Note that to test the query files locally you should put
them under your local runtime directory (<code>~/.config/helix/runtime</code> on Linux
for example).</p>
<p>The following <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#capturing-nodes">captures</a> are recognized:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Capture Name</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><code>function.inside</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>function.around</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>class.inside</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>class.around</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>test.inside</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>test.around</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>parameter.inside</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>comment.inside</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>comment.around</code></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<p><a href="https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Ahelix-editor%2Fhelix+path%3A%2A%2A/textobjects.scm&type=Code&ref=advsearch&l=&l=">Example query files</a> can be found in the helix GitHub repository.</p>
<h2 id="queries-for-textobject-based-navigation"><a class="header" href="#queries-for-textobject-based-navigation">Queries for textobject based navigation</a></h2>
<p>Tree-sitter based navigation in Helix is done using captures in the
following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>object.movement</code></li>
<li><code>object.around</code></li>
<li><code>object.inside</code></li>
</ul>
<p>For example if a <code>function.around</code> capture has been already defined for a language
in its <code>textobjects.scm</code> file, function navigation should also work automatically.
<code>function.movement</code> should be defined only if the node captured by <code>function.around</code>
doesn't make sense in a navigation context.</p>
