# Migrating from Vim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix's editing model is strongly inspired from vim and kakoune, and a notable
|
||
|
|
difference from vim (and the most striking similarity to kakoune) is that Helix
|
||
|
|
follows the `selection → action` model. This means that the whatever you are
|
||
|
|
going to act on (a word, a paragraph, a line, etc) is selected first and the
|
||
|
|
action itself (delete, change, yank, etc) comes second. A cursor is simply a
|
||
|
|
single width selection.
