You can subscribe to the GitHub discussion, it looks like there are some prototypes but not a definitive GUI: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/11783

Helix is my favorite, it does everything I want a text editor to do and it's much more intuitive than vim/nvim. I was never a power user of either so I'm sure it's missing plenty of functionality that nvim users are used to but it's perfect for my use cases.

Ah, my kith and kin. Salutations, ye of excellent discerning taste.

+1 for a Helix home.
