An experimental fork to bring the Helix editor to the evil side - usagi-flow/evil-helix

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.

    At first I liked the new bindings, but later realised the Vim bindings felt more reliable and dropped helix even though I really liked the editor itself. This might make me try it again. Thanks!
