+# Key Remapping
+
+One-way key remapping is temporarily supported via a simple TOML configuration
+file. (More powerful solutions such as rebinding via commands will be
+available in the feature).
+
+To remap keys, write a `config.toml` file in your `helix` configuration
+directory (default `~/.config/helix` in Linux systems) with a structure like
+this:
+
+```toml
+# At most one section each of 'keys.normal', 'keys.insert' and 'keys.select'
+[keys.normal]
+a = "move_char_left" # Maps the 'a' key to the move_char_left command
+w = "move_line_up" # Maps the 'w' key move_line_up
+C-S-esc = "select_line" # Maps Control-Shift-Escape to select_line
+
+[keys.insert]
+A-x = "normal_mode" # Maps Alt-X to enter normal mode
+```
+
+Control, Shift and Alt modifiers are encoded respectively with the prefixes
+`C-`, `S-` and `A-`. Special keys are encoded as follows:
+
+* Backspace => "backspace"
+* Space => "space"
+* Return/Enter => "ret"
+* < => "lt"
+* > => "gt"
+* + => "plus"
+* - => "minus"
+* ; => "semicolon"
+* % => "percent"
+* Left => "left"
+* Right => "right"
+* Up => "up"
+* Home => "home"
+* End => "end"
+* Page Up => "pageup"
+* Page Down => "pagedown"
+* Tab => "tab"
+* Back Tab => "backtab"
+* Delete => "del"
+* Insert => "ins"
+* Null => "null"
+* Escape => "esc"
+
+Commands can be found in the source code at `../../helix-term/src/commands.rs`
