Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can somebody explain in essence what the difference between kakoune and helix bindings are? Edit: What I found so far https://helix-editor.com/?ref=medevel.com https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/2138
The best way to understand really is to install both and try yourself, but basically I would say Kakoune is more "radical" than Helix, which feels more like Vim. Both move the selection in normal mode, but Helix has you extend it using what's basically visual mode, whereas Kakoune cuts out visual mode altogether and has you hold Shift. As you can see in the config, reconfiguring what Shift does causes issues with normal Vim bindings (like joining selections with J), so Kakoune solves this with Alt.
After using it for a few days, it made a lot of sense to my brain—I would say, in general, Kakoune feels enormously well thought-out and carefully considered in every element of its design.
Mhm interesting, compared to helix it also seems to be available in the debian repositories. But what I don't like is the similar approach as of vim/nvim where you have to configure everything yourself, instead of delivering a wholesome experience with sane defaults like helix editor does. Thanks anyway.
