< 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
2023-05-18 11:02:27 +04:00
follows the < code > selection → action< / code > model. This means that 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
2021-08-18 04:54:05 +04:00
single width selection.< / p >
