A Vim-like configuration for the Helix editor, easing the transition for Vim and NeoVim users. It remaps Helix's keybindings to feel familiar to Vim users without needing plugins.

Use cases

• switch from neovim to helix without relearning keybindings
• make helix feel like vim
• configure helix with vim-style navigation
• migrate my vimrc to helix
• use hjkl and vim motions in helix
• avoid neovim plugin breakage by moving to helix

When to choose

• you are a Vim/NeoVim user trying out Helix and want familiar keybindings
• you want a plugin-free editor with a ready-made Vim-like config
• you are tired of maintaining a fragile NeoVim plugin setup

When to avoid

• you are happy with your existing NeoVim configuration
• you prefer Helix's native Kakoune-style selection-first keybindings
• you need deep customization beyond what a config file can provide
