Arrow key mappings about helix HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes please, I can't stand using HJKL (the only thing about vim I don't like). This PR would be an excellent addition.

@archseer I've been playing around with helix a bit more;
I've personally also added Home/End key bindings ( Similar mappings to ^ and $ )

Additionally these key bindings also allow movement while in insert mode ( primary reason I use them sometimes ).

If that sounds fine too I guess ill create 2 PR's, one for the extra key mapping one for the insert extension.

Edit:
Added PR's for all features separately.

Unfortunately, the PR does not work for insert mode, only normal mode.

Hi, that is correct, the insert mode extension is in a separate pull request, but needs some more research because of underlying issues, I myself have not yet encountered these so I cannot give further detail.

Current arrow keymaps work for normal mode and extend mode.

You could opt to build helix yourself, and pull : https://github.com/itzmjauz/helix/tree/insert-mode-keymap-extension into the master branch before doing so. (You could also just copy keymap.rs: https://github.com/itzmjauz/helix/blob/insert-mode-keymap-extension/helix-term/src/keymap.rs over your own, edit: this will actually not work since recent updates)
This will give you arrow keys and home-end keys navigation in insert mode.

Sounds reasonable, go ahead and make a PR!
