Helix (hx) in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own hx package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Helix (hx) should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is an interactive program that runs inside a terminal rather than in a window of its own: in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
hx
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Terminal text editors run in Breadstick's Terminal. With a physical keyboard, keys such as Escape reach them as they do on a PC. More in the docs: The Terminal.
