  Helix deserves more love. Blazing fast, sensible defaults, good lsp support, vim-ish bindings. It’s really my perfect editor

    It’s such a cool editor, but after decades of Vim motor memory I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the cursor / selection changes. I really wish there was an option to just make selection work like Vim.

      For anyone trying it out for the first time: If you aren’t sure how to do something, it’s probably hitting the spacebar in normal mode. That will bring up a list of shortcuts, including the debugging, file chooser, and actions (for the lip)

        There is also a pretty good interactive tutorial. Just run the :tutor command.
