helix keymap

[kdziamura]

Is there a plan to add helix editor bindings? Or probably add a possibility to configure the keymap profile?

no idea what's helix. just had a look for ten seconds. it's kinda close to Vim bindings but it has its own thing?

so yeah adding just a helix preset would be kinda crazy. coz other people are gonna ask their own other stuff. a custom binding is also kinda crazy, coz it's another project altogether. there are actually apps dedicated to that like Karabiner-Elements and/or Hammerspoon.

custom bindings have been asked a couple of times (at least #153 but it's been discussed in many issues) and the best answer (at least for now) is to combine proper tools like Karabiner-Elements with the macOS Distributed Notifications sent by kV (https://github.com/godbout/kindaVim.docs#apis). from there you should be able to do whatever you want.

so a few things to read:

• Feature request: Custom keybindings #153
• Remapping keys with Karabiner Elements and Hammerspoon #117
• Adding support for different keyboard layouts #184

see if the above helps. if not and you still have ideas, please shoot.

you can follow issues referenced in the three issues above. that'll bring in the dark deep web and may give you even a better idea of the current status of kV regarding custom bindings. then still shoot if you have anything to say of course.
