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

key to return to normal mode after usage (useful when you're simply looking

## 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.
