In Helix, registers are storage locations for text and other data, such as the
result of a search. Registers can be used to cut, copy, and paste text, similar
to the clipboard in other text editors. Usage is similar to Vim, with `"` being
used to select a register.
### User-defined registers
Helix allows you to create your own named registers for storing text, for
example:
- `"ay` - Yank the current selection to register `a`.
- `"op` - Paste the text in register `o` after the selection.

If a register is selected before invoking a change or delete command, the selection will be stored in the register and the action will be carried out:
- `"hc` - Store the selection in register `h` and then change it (delete and enter insert mode).
- `"md` - Store the selection in register `m` and delete it.

The system clipboard is not directly supported by a special register. Instead, special commands and keybindings are provided. Refer to the
[key map](keymap.md#space-mode) for more details.
The black hole register is a no-op register, meaning that no data will be read or written to it.

In Helix, textobjects are a way to select, manipulate and operate on a piece of
text in a structured way. They allow you to refer to blocks of text based on
their structure or purpose, such as a word, sentence, paragraph, or even a
function or block of code.

- `ma` - Select around the object (`va` in Vim, `<alt-a>` in Kakoune)
- `mi` - Select inside the object (`vi` in Vim, `<alt-i>` in Kakoune)
| Key after `mi` or `ma` | Textobject selected |
| --- | --- |
| `w` | Word |
| `W` | WORD |
| `p` | Paragraph |
| `(`, `[`, `'`, etc. | Specified surround pairs |
| `m` | The closest surround pair |
| `f` | Function |
| `c` | Class |
| `a` | Argument/parameter |
| `o` | Comment |
| `t` | Test |
| `g` | Change |
> 💡 `f`, `c`, etc. need a tree-sitter grammar active for the current
document and a special tree-sitter query file to work properly. [Only
some grammars][lang-support] currently have the query file implemented.
Contributions are welcome!
## Navigating using tree-sitter textobjects
Navigating between functions, classes, parameters, and other elements is
possible using tree-sitter and textobject queries. For
example to move to the next function use `]f`, to move to previous
class use `[c`, and so on.
![Tree-sitter-nav-demo][tree-sitter-nav-demo]
For the full reference see the [unimpaired][unimpaired-keybinds] section of the key bind
documentation.
> 💡 This feature relies on tree-sitter textobjects
> and requires the corresponding query file to work properly.
## Moving the selection with syntax-aware motions
`Alt-p`, `Alt-o`, `Alt-i`, and `Alt-n` (or `Alt` and arrow keys) allow you to move the
selection according to its location in the syntax tree. For example, many languages have the
following syntax for function calls:
```js
func(arg1, arg2, arg3);
```
A function call might be parsed by tree-sitter into a tree like the following.
```tsq
(call
function: (identifier) ; func
arguments:
(arguments ; (arg1, arg2, arg3)
(identifier) ; arg1
(identifier) ; arg2
(identifier))) ; arg3
```
Use `:tree-sitter-subtree` to view the syntax tree of the primary selection. In
a more intuitive tree format:
```
┌────┐
│call│
┌─────┴────┴─────┐
│ │
┌─────▼────┐ ┌────▼────┐
│identifier│ │arguments│
│ "func" │ ┌────┴───┬─────┴───┐
└──────────┘ │ │ │
│ │ │
┌─────────▼┐ ┌────▼─────┐ ┌▼─────────┐
│identifier│ │identifier│ │identifier│
│ "arg1" │ │ "arg2" │ │ "arg3" │
└──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘

If you have a selection that wraps `arg1` (see the tree above), and you use
`Alt-n`, it will select the next sibling in the syntax tree: `arg2`.
