Hi,

I would like to discuss whether it would be useful to ship an example configuration file for helix.

I am currently facing some configuration issues while recommending this to others. I think providing a default config file called example would help resolve these problems.

First, the theme doesn’t appear after default installation. In many terminals, the `COLORTERM=truecolor` variable has no default setting, so the theme always appears gray.

Second, the default purple theme is difficult to read for me (and the posts I see on Reddit). I prefer the catppuccin-macchiato theme.

There are also some other personal settings that I won’t go into detail about here.

So I propose creating a default configuration—it could be simple, or it could list all available options (which seems to increase my maintenance workload 😆).

Here’s the config I’m using right now:
```toml
[editor]
theme = "catppuccin_macchiato"

[editor]
line-number = "relative"
true-color = true
default-yank-register = "+"

[editor.cursor-shape]
normal = "block"
insert = "bar"
select = "bar"

[editor.lsp]
display-inlay-hints = true
```
