      Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.

      Vim and helix have different keymappings for the same tasks, for example to delete a word, helix you type wd, but in vim you type dw. As a vim user of like 6 years, I prefer the helix bindings after understanding them. But the reason I say helix having vim bindings would defeat the point is that if you want vim bindings, just use vim or neovim with plugins. Those are both mature projects that will serve people who want vim bindings better, either switch to helix all the way, or don’t imo
