Check out the config.toml file in this repository. It only contains key mappings. These were the most important key mappings to allow me to use as much of my Vim muscle-memory as possible when editing text in Helix.
If you are used to doing c commands a lot, you're going to have to adapt to selecting the area you want with v and then deleting it.
With this being said, a lot of the most basic stuff (including C, 0, $, ^, G, {} and %!) that you rely on every day to edit and navigate a text file without thinking about it, is implemented.
Feel free to fork this, personalize it, make suggestions, improvements, fill in gaps that I don't know how to fill, etc.
