# Migrating from Emacs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Helix is a modal editor stronly inspired by Vim and Kakoune. Users of doom Emacs
|
||||||
|
will find it familiar. Helix follows the `selection → action` model. Where many Emacs
|
||||||
|
commands can work with the item under point Helix will require a selection first.
|
||||||
|
A cursor in Helix is simply a single width selection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Helix has buffers too. <space>-b will let you shift between them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Commands can be prefixed with numbers to change their behavior in much the same way
|
||||||
|
as C-u N <command> does in Emacs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Registers in Helix work much like registers do in Emacs as well. Except there is
|
||||||
|
currently no mark saving and moving. Check out the jumplist for an alternative.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many of the same behaviors from rectangle mark mode can be reproduced using multiple
|
||||||
|
cursors.
