Description:
The current executable for helix is /usr/bin/helix, which is a bit odd, considering upstream's preferred executable name is hx (example: https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html#validating-the-installation). It's also confusing as other distros (eg. Alpine and Ubuntu PPA) have the executable /usr/bin/hx. And hx is shorter to type.
Not very important but it would be good to change.
Thanks for maintaining the package!
