current selection as the search pattern | `search_selection` | ### Minor modes These sub-modes are accessible from normal mode and typically switch back to normal mode after a command. #### View mode 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). | Key | Description | Command | | ----- | ----------- | ------- | | `z` , `c` | Vertically center the line | `align_view_center` | | `t` | Align the line to the top of the screen | `align_view_top` | | `b` | Align the line to the bottom of the screen | `align_view_bottom` | | `m` | Align the line to the middle of the screen (horizontally) | `align_view_middle` | | `j` | Scroll the view downwards | `scroll_down` | | `k` | Scroll the view upwards | `scroll_up` | | `f` | Move page down | `page_down` | | `b` | Move page up | `page_up` | | `d` | Move half page down | `half_page_down` | | `u` | Move half page up | `half_page_up` | #### Goto mode Jumps to various locations. > NOTE: Some of these features are only available with the LSP present. | Key | Description | Command | | ----- | ----------- | ------- | | `g` | Go to the start of the file | `goto_file_start` | | `e` | Go to the end of the file | `goto_last_line` | | `h` | Go to the start of the line | `goto_line_start` | | `l` | Go to the end of the line | `goto_line_end` | | `s` | Go to first non-whitespace character of the line | `goto_first_nonwhitespace` | | `t` | Go to the top of the screen | `goto_window_top` | | `m` | Go to the middle of the screen | `goto_window_middle` | | `b` | Go to the bottom of the screen | `goto_window_bottom` | | `d` | Go to definition | `goto_definition` | | `y` | Go to type definition | `goto_type_definition` | | `r` | Go to references | `goto_reference` | | `i` | Go to implementation | `goto_implementation` | | `a` | Go to the last accessed/alternate file | `goto_last_accessed_file` | #### Match mode Enter this mode using `m` from normal mode.

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. # Picker Keys to use within picker.
