See the usage section for a quick overview of the editor, keymap section for all available keybindings and the configuration section for defining custom keybindings, setting themes, etc. For everything else (e.g., how to install supported language servers), see the Helix Wiki.
Refer the FAQ for common questions.
If Emacs’s editing model and keybindings are so atrocious, then why not reprogram it? Evil is an Emacs extension that implements Vim in Emacs. It’s been around for a while, and from what I can gather, it’s quite complete. You have all the basic editing commands, can define leader key combinations, the ex commands (the : prompt) are implemented. An advanced Vim user will probably find some things missing. If that’s you please do let me know what it is! I’ve been asking my Vimmy friends and so far haven’t gotten much concrete feedback.
For an upper intermediate user it seems Evil is more than good enough, and it’s only getting better.
Jack in to Boot, Clj & Leiningen from Vim. Inspired by the feature in CIDER.el.
Depends on vim-dispatch to run commands in background. If you’re using Neovim I can recommend vim-dispatch-neovim

Learn Vimscript the Hard Way is a book for users of the Vim editor who want to learn how to customize Vim.
It is not a guide to using Vim. Before reading this book you should be comfortable editing text in Vim and know what terms like "buffer", "window" and "insert mode" mean.
The book is divided roughly into three sections:
- The first covers basic Vim commands that you can use in your ~/.vimrc file to customize Vim quickly and easily.
- The second looks more deeply at Vimscript as a programming language, covering things like variables, comparisons, and functions.
- The third walks through the creation of a sample plugin intended for distribution to other Vim users.
The book is copyright 2013 by Steve Losh, all rights reserved. You can redistribute this HTML version as long as you don't make any changes and don't charge for it.
The book will always be free to read online.
vim-flake8 is a Vim plugin that runs the currently open file through Flake8, a static syntax and style checker for Python source code. It supersedes both vim-pyflakes and vim-pep8.
Flake8 is a wrapper around PyFlakes (static syntax checker), PEP8 (style checker) and Ned's MacCabe script (complexity checker).
Async Language Server Protocol plugin for vim8 and neovim.
A Language Server for the latest version(s) of Jedi. If using Neovim/Vim, we recommend using with coc-jedi. Supports Python versions 3.6.1 and newer.

Free yourself from the shackles of WYSIWYG and TextArea wiki editors. Reach
unheralded levels of productivity by editing your Confluence wiki with the
most powerful text editor known to mankind: Vim!
confluence-vim
A vim plugin for taking notes in markdown and storing them in a confluence wiki.
It's really simple, I hope you like it.
You need to install html2text, markdown, and requests, and your vim needs to be compiled with python support. You also need to write your credentials in your .netrc file.
If you code a little, you know how handy an Integrated Development Environment (IE) can be. Java, C, Python, they all become a lot more accessible when the IDE software is checking the syntax for you, compiling in the background, or importing the libraries you need. On the other hand, if you are on Linux, you might also know how handy Vim can be when it comes to text editing. So naturally, you would like to get all the features of an IDE from Vim.
- Tiny core written with extensibility in mind (open/closed principle).
- Integrates with a variety of plugins, including: vim-bufferline, fugitive, unite, ctrlp, minibufexpl, gundo, undotree, nerdtree, tagbar, vim-gitgutter, vim-signify, quickfixsigns, syntastic, eclim, lawrencium, virtualenv, tmuxline, taboo.vim, ctrlspace and more.
- Looks good with regular fonts and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols.
- Optimized for speed; it loads in under a millisecond.
- Extensive suite of themes for popular color schemes including solarized (dark and light), tomorrow (all variants), base16 (all variants), molokai, jellybeans and others; have a look at the screenshots in the wiki.
- Supports 7.2 as the minimum Vim version.
- The master branch tries to be as stable as possible, and new features are merged in only after they have gone through a full regression test.
- Unit testing suite.
