Make the pluralization of files and selections consistent to emphasize
the 1-to-1 relation between files and selections. The prior wording
with plural "files" and singular "selection" can mislead users into
thinking the command can open multiple files from a single selection.
The clipboard special registers are able to retain multiple selections
and also join the value when copying it to the clipboard. So by default
we should yank regularly to the '*' and '+' registers. That will have
the same behavior for the clipboards but will allow pasting multiple
selections if the clipboard doesn't change between yanks.
* Add command for merging non-consecutive ranges
* Add `merge_selections` command to book
* Simplify `merge_ranges`
Heeded the advice of @the-mikedavis to stop iterating over all ranges and simply merge the first and the last range, as the invariants of `Selection` guarantee that the list of ranges is always sorted and never empty.
* Clarify doc comment of `merge_ranges`

When the Kitty Keyboard Protocol is enabled, S-backspace is
distinguished from backspace with no modifiers. This is awkward when
typing because it's very easy to accidentally hold shift and press
backspace temporarily when typing capital letters.
Kakoune (which is also a Kitty Keyboard Protocol application) treats
S-backspace as backspace too:

* Change default TS object bindings
Changes 'match inside/around' bindings for:
- type definition from `c` to `t`
- comments from `o` to `c`
- tests from `t` to `T`
Also changes those for the `]` / `[` bindings.
* Update docs for changed keybinds

Also changes workspace diagnostic picker bindings to <space>D and
changes the debug menu keybind to <space>g, the previous diagnostic
picker keybind. This brings the diagnostic picker bindings more in
line with the jump to next/previous diagnostic bindings which are
currently on ]d and [d.
This is an attempt to clean up the inconsistent way that keys are
written in various places. These rules require the fewest changes to the
existing text.
Use the "Key name", as defined in remapping.md, which uses
"Some-Modifiers-PascalCaseKey". The "Representation", which uses
"S-M-lowercasekey", is only used for configuration entries.
For key combinations which do not present a popup, just present the keys
one after the other, with no intervening space, like `]p`.
For key combinations which present a popup, separate them with ` + `,
like `Space + f`.
The Ctrl modifier is called Ctrl, not Control.
* Keep arrow and special keys in insert
Advanced users won't need it and is useful for beginners.
Revert part of #3671.
* Change text for insert mode section
Co-authored-by: Blaž Hrastnik <blaz@mxxn.io>
* Remove ctrl-up/down in insert
* Reorganize insert keys and docs
* Improve page up experience on last tutor
The last tutor page can page down multiple times and it will break the
heading on the 80x24 screen paging when reaching the last page, this
keeps the style the same and make sure page up and down won't break it.

* keymap: Rename A "Insert at end of line"
The language for the `A` binding is potentially confusing because
`A` behaves like `i` done at the end of the line rather than `a`.
This change renames the command to match Kakoune's language[^1].
[^1]: 021da117cf/src/normal.cc (L2229)
* keymap: Rename I `insert_at_line_start`
* Select inserted space after join
* Split join_selections with space selection to A-J
Kakoune does that too and some users may still want to retain their selections.
* Update join_selections docs
Helix is first and foremost a modal editor. Willingness to support non-modal
editing is there, but it is not one that should be encouraged with the default
settings. There are an increasing number of users who are stumbling because
they are trying to use Helix as a non-modal editor, so this is an effort to
encourage new users to stop and take notice that Helix has a different paradigm
than VSCode, Sublime, etc. Users can still add these bindings back to their own
configs if they wish.

Ctrl-based shortcuts are common in numerous applications.
This change:
- Adds Ctrl+{Left/Right/Backspace/Delete} for word-wise movement/deletion in prompt, picker, …
- Removes Alt-Left and Alt-Right in prompt, picker, …
- Adds Alt-Delete in insert mode for forward word deletion
In some terminals, Alt-Backspace might not work because it is ambigous.
See: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/2193#issuecomment-1105042501
Hence, Alt alternative is not removed.

Currently A-left move one word left and the behavior will be more
consistent for people coming GUI world if the key was changed to control
given that both browsers and editors like vscode uses C-left right by
default to move word rather than alt.
A-hl currently is not very consistent with hl when next object is
selected, since it may go up/down or left/right and this behavior is
confusing such that some people think it should swap the keys with A-jk,
so it is better to use A-pn since that only specifies two direction.
A-jk have the same issue as in it usually moves right and is not
consistent with the behavior of jk so people may think A-hl is better,
maybe A-oi is better here since A-hl will be swapped to A-pn, A-oi can
convey the meaning of in and out, similar to some window manager keys?
