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:

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.
Nice! I started using helix before vim and often I find the helix bindings more logical (like shift for the reverse action e.g. u for undo and U for redo). However often the vim bindings feel quicker (c-i-w vs m-i-w-c). Will definitely give it a go!
Neither project allows to set keybindings by a simple json or yaml file? Yet, these are highly customizable editors! That’s a surprise.
