Update keymap documentation in the book (#1745)
* Add missing key bindings to keymap docs * Add a note about readline bindings in insert mode * Rewrite section on selection extend mode We seem to have settled on this model, so no reason to say in the docs that this is experimental. I also don't think we have any movements that don't obey extend mode left. * Fix table formatting * Fix missing command for command palette binding * Fix missed capitalization of descriptions in keymap docs * Be consistent with multiple bindings in keymap docs * Fix differently marked up commands in keymap docs * Make special key capitalization consistent Co-authored-by: Michael Davis <michael.davis@nfiindustries.com> * Fix extra space in docs Co-authored-by: Michael Davis <michael.davis@nfiindustries.com> * A few more capitalizations of special keys in keymap docs * Move a selection manipulation key map to the appropriate section in docs * Move minor mode entry bindings to the minor modes section of keymap docs * Add note about default register used in search commands in keymap docs * Fix formatting of rebased addition * Remove note about potential removal of select mode It's been decided since to keep it Co-authored-by: Michael Davis <michael.davis@nfiindustries.com>

## Select / extend mode
-I'm still pondering whether to keep this mode or not. It changes movement
-commands (including goto) to extend the existing selection instead of replacing it.
+This mode echoes Normal mode, but changes any movements to extend
+selections rather than replace them. Goto motions are also changed to
+extend, so that `vgl` for example extends the selection to the end of
+the line.
-> NOTE: It's a bit confusing at the moment because extend hasn't been
-> implemented for all movement commands yet.
+Search is also affected. By default, `n` and `N` will remove the current
+selection and select the next instance of the search term. Toggling this
+mode before pressing `n` or `N` makes it possible to keep the current
+selection. Toggling it on and off during your iterative searching allows
+you to selectively add search terms to your selections.
