If people want to replace vim, they should not change the keybindings.

  They not only change the keybindings, they change the editor paradigm from a verb-noun model (dw = delete word) to a noun-verb (wd = select word, then delete) model. Multiple cursors also have an effect. It's pretty close to vim keybindings, but the paradigm change makes it incompatible with 1:1 keybindings. That said, coming from 15+ years of Vim, I was felt pretty much immediately at home with Kakoune, and dropped right in to Helix with comfort.

    What do you think about beginning of line and end of line movements? Is it really home/end? Seems like a common movement to assign to far-away keys?

      gh beginning of line gl end of line Both key presses are home row, and as soon as you press the 'g', you get a little pop up telling you about them.
