|

|
|
<p>Helix currently supports one-way key remapping through a simple TOML configuration
|
||
|
|
file. (More powerful solutions such as rebinding via commands will be
|
||
|
|
available in the future).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To remap keys, create a <code>config.toml</code> file in your <code>helix</code> configuration
|
||
|
|
directory (default <code>~/.config/helix</code> on Linux systems) with a structure like
|
||
|
|
this:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml"># At most one section each of 'keys.normal', 'keys.insert' and 'keys.select'
|
||
|
|
[keys.normal]
|
||
|
|
C-s = ":w" # Maps Ctrl-s to the typable command :w which is an alias for :write (save file)
|
||
|
|
C-o = ":open ~/.config/helix/config.toml" # Maps Ctrl-o to opening of the helix config file
|
||
|
|
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" = "extend_line" # Maps Ctrl-Shift-Escape to extend_line
|
||
|
|
g = { a = "code_action" } # Maps `ga` to show possible code actions
|
||
|
|
"ret" = ["open_below", "normal_mode"] # Maps the enter key to open_below then re-enter normal mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[keys.insert]
|
||
|
|
"A-x" = "normal_mode" # Maps Alt-X to enter normal mode
|

</code></pre>
|

|
|
<h2 id="minor-modes"><a class="header" href="#minor-modes">Minor modes</a></h2>
|

|

<p>Minor modes are accessed by pressing a key (usually from normal mode), giving access to dedicated bindings. Bindings
