If the bindings were the same, then what's the point? We're not a "vim ported to rust", instead we got our own take on things. (from the vision doc: "Don't try to be everything for everyone. There are many great editors out there to choose from. Let's make Helix one of those great options, with its own take on things.")
> helix wants to get much wider adoption
I've stated this before: I just want to make a good editor that I like using daily. There's a growing community of users with similar preferences that are very happy with it, but I'm not aiming to corner the market -- this isn't a startup. Much in the same way as vim isn't trying to become more like VSCode to increase it's market share.
That said, thanks for giving it a try! For keybinds, we do have a couple of guides:
- `hx --tutor` is the equivalent to vimtutor
- https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/Migrating-from-Vi...
- Our Matrix chat is always happy to help with questions :)
