I've tried that and can confirm that hx **is** able to use system-shared and personal grammar plugins. I've copied some grammars in /usr/lib/hx/runtime/grammars, and some in my ~/.config/helix/runtime/grammars: $ ls /usr/lib/hx/runtime/grammars/ markdoc.so markdown_inline.so markdown.so $ ls ~/.config/helix/runtime/grammars/ python.so Then I tried editing a markdown and a python file, both had syntax highlighting enabled as expected.
