evil-helix: A super fast modal editor with Vim keybindings (github.com)

Some of you may have come across Helix - a very fast editor/IDE. 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 peoject to add Vim keybindings. Now, two years later, I realize this might interest others as well, so here we go:

https://github.com/usagi-flow/evil-helix

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.

As someone that never really clicked with Vim, but has been enjoying Helix, I've been looking for the opposite: something that makes Neovim follow the selection-action paradigm, along with all of the Helix keybindings.

I feel the same way. I’ve been using helix for about a month now and really like its paradigm. But I’m missing some of the neovim features. And I’ve run into some lsp issues that I don’t think are present in neovim

Helix + vim => Helim => Helium?

Vim + helix => velix / vimix / vix / velimix?

Hmm, helium would‘ve been amazing, but that‘d be an SEO nightmare. My wife told me „velimix“ sounds like a kitchen appliance. Not sure if that’s a good thing haha…

Neither project allows to set keybindings by a simple json or yaml file? Yet, these are highly customizable editors! That's a surprise.
