Why not ship a config.toml instead of forking?

Keybindings are customizable in Helix editor. Right? There was any limitations? It would be great to see on readme, at least some hint.

Good question! Indeed, Helix is completely built upon the selection -> verb model. There is currently no way to get around this just by adjusting the configuration. It's possibly to "get a bit closer" to a Vim feeling; there's even a project doing exactly that. But without implemented support for Vim keybindings, we can't there where we want to be.

It's a good idea to put this somewhere. I think I'm leaning a bit more towards an FAQ in a wiki rather than cluttering the README even more (I believe short, clean and concise READMEs are better).

I'll leave this issue open as a reminder for that.
