Sure, why wouldn’t it be? Plenty of programs have Vim keybindings. The challenge is matching the behavior perfectly 1-1.
This is where vim keybinds fall short every time. I do appreciate the effort, and have zero expectations about a one to one match, but the moment I do something out of habit and an editor doesn’t do what I expect, in “vim mode”, it breaks the illusion.
It means that it's possible to add vim support for Helix but they don't want to?
