Helix Mode

Work in progress! Not all Helix keybindings are implemented yet.

Zed's Helix mode is an emulation layer that brings Helix-style keybindings and modal editing to Zed. It builds upon Zed's Vim mode, so much of the core functionality is shared. Enabling helix_mode will also enable vim_mode.

For a guide on Vim-related features that are also available in Helix mode, please refer to our Vim mode documentation.

To check the current status of Helix mode, or to request a missing Helix feature, checkout out the "Are we Helix yet?" discussion.

For a detailed list of Helix's default keybindings, please visit the official Helix documentation.

Core differences

Any text object that works with m i or m a also works with ] and [, so for example ] ( selects the next pair of parentheses after the cursor.
