< p > 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 < code > selection → action< / code > 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.< / p >

< p > It's recommended define a palette of named colors, and refer to them from the

configuration values in your theme. To do this, add a table called

ui.text = " black"
[palette]
white = " #ffffff"
black = " #000000"

< p > Remember that the < code > [palette]< / code > table includes all keys after its header,
