+# 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 the 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.
