Switching from helix to emacs

Hi,

I’ve been using helix for a few years for all of my editing needs: TeX, C, C++, Haskell, Python and much more. Lately, I’ve grown tired of the slow evolution and the fact of it’s utterly shitty file-manager. I do want to see if I can transition to emacs, but the keybindings and mental model have been physically wired in my brain so I cant go back to either vim or emacs defaults. Have anyone made the transition from helix to emacs, and fixed most of the keybindings?
