I get that Helix is really fast (I also use it sometimes) but some of those screen-grabs could be made bit slower so one could see what is actually happening.

Anyway I hope this will be soon included in release! (Even if current <space>+f is also pretty good.)

I agree. Capturing the interaction as a movie (like .mov file) makes it really difficult to understand what the user is doing. e.g. What keystrokes did the user press to finish this interaction. I wish folks would post screen grabs with tools like https://asciinema.org/ - this is what the helix-editor homepage uses to show the features. This is ideal for terminal apps.

That said, I wish asciinema can also show the key strokes a an annotation with the ability for the viewer to pause on each keyboard interaction.

These are HTML <video> controls. You can right-click and set a speed.
