I want a vi layer for helix. I don't want to have any vimrc configuration, just open my editor and have LSP and everything working immediately. I just can't figure out how to switch to helix keybindings.

- eNV25 4y agoI learned helix's keybinds pretty quickly, it's not too difficult. Though, I don't really use it anymore, I prefer Neovim.
- vulcan01 4y agoThere is this configuration: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim This switches most keybinds to be vi-like.
- weavie 4y agoVi commands are verb-noun (cw - change word). Helix are noun-verb (wc - select the word then change it). Learn to use multiple cursors in Helix - many of the things I have found lacking from Vi - eg pressing . doesn't work the same way in Helix - can be made up with more or less by using multiple cursors.
- aidenn0 4y agoHelix was very disappointing for me; maybe it's just still immature (I tried it a few months ago and posted to the chat room several examples of things that were trivial in vim but had no helix equivalent; people there seemed receptive to making then work). kakoune is much closer to a good noun-verb replacement, at least for now.
