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:

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.

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…

I feel like helium works as well as helix. When I search Helix I don't get the editor but if I search Helix Editor I will get what I'm looking for.

When I search Helium editor I don't get any exact matches, but of course SEO is a dark and mystical art so your mileage may vary.
