  10. evil-helix

    Bringing the Helix editor to the evil side

    Project mention: Beginner-friendly, unofficial documentation for Helix text editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-01

    There’s also a fork called evil helix that uses more VIM-like bindings: https://github.com/usagi-flow/evil-helix

    Helix has been my daily driver for a few years now, and it’s extremely familiar if you’re coming from the LazyVim setup for NeoVim. I make a few mistakes here and there if I have to use tools with just basic VI binds, but you learn to juggle them both.

    The config is very well documented and it would be simple to rebind things too.

    Hope you give it a shot!
