I decided to finally learn a modal editor and installed Helix. Ideal for me since it's very hackable if you're already familiar with Rust. Very easy to build from source. Plus all I need is LSP support and I'm good at work, clangd is all I need for an IDE.

Coming from vim the similar but not quite key binds can be confusing.

Yeah everyone I've tried to introduce helix to who was already a vim master hated it. It's great for people who don't already have that muscle memory, I found the reversed selection->action model a lot more intuitive personally.
