John Wood 86829c5467 Add Helm layer README
Add a README.org to the Helm layer to fix `helm-spacemacs-help-layers`
(`SPC h l`). There is little actual documentation -- it just links to
the official docs as well as the Helm wiki and the Helm guide.

Helm layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/86829c54673e95249dc3ee7e16a7fb3550fdbfb0/layers/+completion/helm/img/helm.png

Description

Spacemacs is powered by one of two incremental completion and selection narrowing frameworks: Helm (this layer, which is the default) or Ivy.

These completion systems are the central control towers of Spacemacs, they are used to manage buffers, projects, search results, configuration layers, toggles and more…

Mastering your choice of completion system will make you a Spacemacs power user.

Install

Helm is the default completion framework if Ivy is not enabled, Helm will be enabled automatically.

To switch from Ivy to Helm, modify your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add helm to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file, and remove ivy.

Key bindings

The Spacemacs-specific keybindings are described in the Spacemacs documentation:
