I created a small fork that adds seamless navigation between Helix splits and Zellij panes/tabs. It's not something that would get merged into mainline Helix, but it's been a game-changer for my workflow.
The fork adds four new commands (jump_view_*_zj) that first try to navigate within Helix splits, and if you're at the edge, they pass the navigation to Zellij. You can bind these to whatever keys you prefer (I use Alt+arrows) to navigate through your entire terminal workspace without having to think about the boundary between editor and terminal.
I'll try to keep this fork synced with the main Helix repo, so you won't miss out on new features and fixes.
I'm hoping this kind of integration will be easier once Helix gets a proper plugin system. In the meantime, I'm curious if anyone has ideas for a more elegant implementation that I might have missed?
If you're interested, I wrote up a README with installation and configuration instructions: https://github.com/g1ibby/helix-zellij-nav/blob/zellij-integration/FORK_README.md
