# Keymap
- Mappings marked (**LSP**) require an active language server for the file.
- Mappings marked (**TS**) require a tree-sitter grammar for the filetype.

View mode is intended for scrolling and manipulating the view without changing
the selection. The "sticky" variant of this mode is persistent; use the Escape
key to return to normal mode after usage (useful when you're simply looking
over text and not actively editing it).

| `i` `<object>` | Select inside textobject | `select_textobject_inner` |
TODO: Mappings for selecting syntax nodes (a superset of `[`).
#### Window mode

| `R` | Replace selections by clipboard contents | `replace_selections_with_clipboard` |
| `/` | Global search in workspace folder | `global_search` |
> TIP: Global search displays results in a fuzzy picker, use `space + '` to bring it back up after opening a file.
#### Unimpaired
Mappings in the style of [vim-unimpaired](https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired).
| Key | Description | Command |

| `Ctrl-x` | Autocomplete | `completion` |
| `Ctrl-w` | Delete previous word | `delete_word_backward` |
## 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.
> NOTE: It's a bit confusing at the moment because extend hasn't been
> implemented for all movement commands yet.
