Omg. Vim keybindings is the single blocker for me to try helix.

It means that it's possible to add vim support for Helix but they don't want to?

Sure, why wouldn’t it be? Plenty of programs have Vim keybindings. The challenge is matching the behavior perfectly 1-1.

This is where vim keybinds fall short every time. I do appreciate the effort, and have zero expectations about a one to one match, but the moment I do something out of habit and an editor doesn’t do what I expect, in “vim mode”, it breaks the illusion.

Honestly most implementations are just the basic navigation keys and a couple of edit commands. The basic navigation in Helix is the same as Vim so the ubiquitous feeling continues.
