Coming from helix

yumete's default keymap is helix's. You select first and act second, a cursor is a one-character selection, and most keys do what your hands expect. This page lists the places where they do not.

What is the same

These work as in helix. Motions: h j k l, f t F T (across lines), gg ge gh gl gs, and C-d C-u C-f C-b. Selection: x X % v ; , C s S K & _, A-;, and ( ) to rotate the primary selection. Changes: d c y p P R r ~ > < J u U C-a C-x, with A-d and A-c to leave the register alone. Macros are Q to record and q to play, "a picks a register, A-. repeats the last f or t, and C-o C-i C-s work the jump list. Search is / ? n N *. The m group is helix's, with more objects (see Match mode), and so are z, Z and ]/[ for paragraphs, changes and diagnostics.

. is helix's .: it repeats the last insert, not the last change. Under the vim keymap it is vim's . instead (see Coming from vim).

J joins lines as helix does, except across Chinese text: two lines that meet between two Chinese characters are joined with no space.

Words go through a segmenter

Chinese has no spaces between words, so w b e cannot cut at spaces. yumete finds words with a Chinese segmenter instead.

  • w moves by word: on 今天天气很好，我们去爬山 it takes 今天, then 天气.
  • e and b move by clause in Chinese, from one punctuation mark to the next: e takes 今天天气很好, up to the comma. In English they still move by word.
  • W B E still cut at spaces.

:word-level off makes a run of Chinese characters one word, the way helix sees it.

gw jump labels are the same key and work the same way, with three differences. In Chinese the labels go on clause starts, the places e stops, not on every word. A label is one letter when the screen has 26 places or fewer, two otherwise. And a label covers one character, so a line of Chinese does not shift when the labels appear.

New in the g group: gL follows a link, gx jumps to a word on the screen when you type its first two letters, gz jumps to a Chinese character when you type its pinyin, g/ searches for the selection, and g? shows the results in the second editor region.

The ] and [ group adds m for a merge conflict. In a code file f, t and c go to the next function, type and comment, as in helix; a, e, T, x and G are not there.

The Space menu

These are the same as helix: f F e b y p P s k d D r a w c C / ?.

These differ:

  • Space E browses files from this file's directory. helix spells it Space ..
  • Not there: j (jump list picker), g (changed files), S (workspace symbols), h (references), ' (last picker), Y, R and G. For references use gr.
  • Added: n for what the character under the cursor is (its readings and how it is written), x for the change on this line, i for the record of the table row the cursor is in, t for tables, " for registers, m for a merge conflict, o for recent files and projects, and z for the input method.
  • A capital shows the same thing in the sidebar instead of a popup: N, K, D, X, I.
  • Space Space turns a page down and Space Backspace a page up.

Tables are on Space t

t is till, as in helix. The table group is Space t. See Tables.

Searching and replacing across a project

Space / opens the search panel in the sidebar. It starts on this file; its In row switches it to the whole project. The panel also chooses case, whole words, regex, and whether pinyin and simplified or traditional characters count as a match. s, S, K and A-K read a regex whatever that setting says, as helix's do.

  • :search-project (:sp) opens the panel already on the project.
  • :replace-project (:rp) opens it with a replace row.
  • :s/old/new/ replaces in this file, the way vim's :s does.

See Search and pickers.

The sidebar

yumete has a sidebar on each side of the text. The capital Space keys above show their panel there, and :sidebar explorer shows the project's files as a tree. Space e is a picker, as in helix, not this panel. C-w e and C-w i show or hide the left and right sidebar, and C-w E and C-w I move into it. :sidebar with a panel name opens that panel, and :sidebar off closes it. See Windows and the sidebar.
