Fair point. I was not aware of Helix Editor when I named the project. That is my mistake. The project is early enough that renaming is still possible if it becomes a real issue. Would you recommend a rename now or wait to see if the name collision actually causes confusion?

Fair question! I've no idea, but good on you for pondering

If it were me I'd rip the band-aid off, but might just be me being grey-beard. Name Collisions are inevitable these days I guess, and equally one could argue that no project should be able to camp out on a dictionary term :)

Either way, best of luck with your project (which looks super interesting) - I neglected to say that bit :facepalm:
