<p>Insert mode bindings are minimal by default. Helix is designed to
be a modal editor, and this is reflected in the user experience and internal
mechanics. Changes to the text are only saved for undos when
escaping from insert mode to normal mode.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>💡 New users are strongly encouraged to learn the modal editing paradigm
to get the smoothest experience.</p>

<p>As you become more comfortable with modal editing, you may want to disable some
insert mode bindings. You can do this by editing your <code>config.toml</code> file.</p>

up = "no_op"
down = "no_op"

<h2 id="select--extend-mode"><a class="header" href="#select--extend-mode">Select / extend mode</a></h2>
<p>Accessed by typing <code>v</code> in <a href="#normal-mode">normal mode</a>.</p>
<p>Select mode echoes Normal mode, but changes any movements to extend
selections rather than replace them. Goto motions are also changed to
extend, so that <code>vgl</code>, for example, extends the selection to the end of
the line.</p>
<p>Search is also affected. By default, <code>n</code> and <code>N</code> will remove the current
selection and select the next instance of the search term. Toggling this
mode before pressing <code>n</code> or <code>N</code> 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.</p>
