The Vim window

The Vim window is Vim’s panes, Vim’s modes and : commands, with the map beside your code. Choose it on the tutorial’s first step, in Settings under Appearance, Editor mode, or with Vim mode in the View menu. Your choice is kept.

The leader

The leader key is Space, unless you change it. It opens a menu of everything, and each row shows the next key, so you can find a command by reading and learn its keys as you go.

Commands and options

: commands work as in Vim. :set changes an option for this session only; Settings saves it for good. Options such as number, relativenumber, scrolloff, ignorecase and smartcase can also be set for one project in its .graphide/config.toml. See Settings.

The map

The map takes Vim’s keys too.

The Vim keys elsewhere

If you like Vim’s modes but not its window, Settings, Keyboard, How keys behave gives the Normal window Vim’s typing. The other way round works too.
