    Today, I’m using the helix text editor.
    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 selection → action
    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 single width selection.
