# Migrating from Vim
|
|
|
|
Helix's editing model is strongly inspired from Vim and Kakoune, and a notable
|
|
difference from Vim (and the most striking similarity to Kakoune) is that Helix
|
|
follows the `selection → action` model. This means that whatever you are
|
|
going to act on (a word, a paragraph, a line, etc.) is selected first and the
|
|
action itself (delete, change, yank, etc.) comes second. A cursor is simply a
|
|
single width selection.
|
|
