Evil-Helix: A super fast modal editor with Vim keybindings

236 points RustyTanuki

Some of you may have come across Helix - a very fast editor/IDE (which is completely written in Rust, thus the relevance to this community!). Unfortunately, Helix has its own set of keybindings, modeled after Kakoune.

This was the one problem holding me back from using this excellent editor, so I soft-forked the project to add Vim keybindings. Now, two years later, I realize this might interest others as well, so here we go:

I‘d be happy to polish the fork - which I carefully keep up-to-date with Helix‘s master branch for now. So let me know what you think!

And yes, I‘m also looking for a more original name.
