Helix Keybindings.

[MrGibus]

So helix has been steadily growing in popularity. Would it be possible to add helix keybindings?

You'll need to submit pull request(s) adding that support to the Ace editor and/or Monaco editor. Once they've accepted the pull requests and released a new version, we'll pick it up automatically.

Would it be feasible to introduce xtermjs as another possible choice for an editor? xtermjs has the possibility to attach to a running terminal. This way we could just start an instance of helix inside a container which is then attached to the frontend terminal. It could look somewhat like this. What do you think about this? @MrGibus @shepmaster

This is now somewhat achievable with a Codemirror extension by yours truly. However, it is designed for Codemirror 6, while the Ace editor is based on Codemirror 5.

I do think a Codemirror 6 editor option would make sense for the playground, regardless of Helix (it's more modern, etc. etc.). I'd be willing to contribute a patch for it.
