Important
Due to the strong support for this feature, Zed is now accepting patches to improve helix mode keybindings directly. 🥳 Since this project is no longer necessary it is now archived. Thank you for your contributions and support for Helix mode in Zed!
A repo to collaborate on building a helix keymap for the zed editor.
I'd like this repo to have:
- The best helix keymap for zed so far
- A listing of helix keymap features, mirroring the offical helix docs, tracking which features are implemented so far and the eqivalent command in zed
- A listing of features needed in zed to get more complete support for helix keybindings
Feel free open a PR if you have a moment to add something!
