Hey friends,
I tried Kakoune for the first time recently—I definitely feel like it gets keybindings right. So I just wrapped up configuring Helix to (as far as I can tell) use those bindings (basically, it totally cuts out select mode and makes things much faster). Thought I’d share for anyone else interested.
[keys.normal]
H = "extend_char_left"
J = "extend_line_down"
K = "extend_line_up"
L = "extend_char_right"
W = "extend_next_word_start"
E = "extend_next_word_end"
B = "extend_prev_word_start"
A-j = "join_selections"
A-n = "search_prev"
N = "extend_search_next"
A-N = "extend_search_prev"
[keys.normal.g]
e = ["goto_last_line", "goto_line_end"]
G = ["select_mode", "goto_file_start", "normal_mode"]
[keys.normal.G]
H = "extend_to_line_start"
L = "extend_to_line_end"
E = ["select_mode", "goto_last_line", "goto_line_end", "normal_mode"]
[keys.normal.v]
t = "align_view_top"
b = "align_view_bottom"
v = "align_view_center"
Happy editing!
