Re-order Helix keymaps and add alt-o/i/p/n (#40527)

Abderrahmane TAHRI JOUTI created 1 week ago

Release Notes:

- helix: Re-ordered `helix_normal || helix_select` keybindings to follow the
same order as the keymap on the helix-editor
[documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html).
- helix: Added `alt-o` & `alt-i` to Select larger and smaller syntax node
respectively
- helix: Added `alt-p` & `alt-n` to Select Next Syntax Node and Previous Syntax
Node respectively



--- 

The new main helix normal & select context looks like follows

```jsonc
