helix: Add `vim::HelixGotoLine` action and bind it to `G` (#61581)
# Objective Make `G` keybinding in Helix mode work like in Helix and not like in Vim. Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/61580 ## Solution Helix has two ways to jump to a line by line number. One is the `goto_file_start` command (bound to `gg`) that optionally takes a count to go to that line instead of the start of the file. Zed already supports it as `vim::StartOfDocument`. The other is the dedicated `goto_line` command (bound to `G`) that only does that and nothing else. Zed did not have it. What's worse, the default `"shift-g": "vim::EndOfDocument"` binding leaked from Vim keymap into Helix keymap, which previously made `<count>G` accidentally work in Helix mode for the wrong reason, until https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/59449 fixed the behavior of `vim::StartOfDocument` and `vim::EndOfDocument` actions to match Helix exactly. This broke `<count>G` and exposed that `G` was bound to the wrong action in Helix mode, and the correct one didn't exist. This PR fixes that in the following way: - adds new`vim::HelixGotoLine` action - binds it to `shift-g` in `helix_normal` and `helix_select` modes in the default Vim keymap ## Testing - Unit tests - Manual testing ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - Fixed the behavior of `G` binding in Helix mode and added new `vim::HelixGotoLine` action Signed-off-by: Oleksii Orlenko <alex@aqrln.net>
