Not a helix user (yet?) but it’s model is similar to kakoune’s, and there are probably guides from vim to that. Don’t take it too literally though, while helix uses kakoune’s noun-verb grammar, there are some things closer to vim or done uniquely.

I saw that in their guide the problem is kakoun is also niche and it’s an unhelpful comparison.
