<p>One-way key remapping is temporarily supported via a simple TOML configuration
file. (More powerful solutions such as rebinding via commands will be
available in the feature).</p>
<p>To remap keys, write a <code>config.toml</code> file in your <code>helix</code> configuration
directory (default <code>~/.config/helix</code> in Linux systems) with a structure like
this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-toml"># At most one section each of 'keys.normal', 'keys.insert' and 'keys.select'
[keys.normal]
a = &quot;move_char_left&quot; # Maps the 'a' key to the move_char_left command
w = &quot;move_line_up&quot; # Maps the 'w' key move_line_up
&quot;C-S-esc&quot; = &quot;extend_line&quot; # Maps Control-Shift-Escape to extend_line
g = { a = &quot;code_action&quot; } # Maps `ga` to show possible code actions
[keys.insert]
&quot;A-x&quot; = &quot;normal_mode&quot; # Maps Alt-X to enter normal mode
j = { k = &quot;normal_mode&quot; } # Maps `jk` to exit insert mode
</code></pre>
<p>Control, Shift and Alt modifiers are encoded respectively with the prefixes
<code>C-</code>, <code>S-</code> and <code>A-</code>. Special keys are encoded as follows:</p>
<table><thead><tr><th>Key name</th><th>Representation</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td>Backspace</td><td><code>&quot;backspace&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Space</td><td><code>&quot;space&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Return/Enter</td><td><code>&quot;ret&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;</td><td><code>&quot;lt&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>&gt;</td><td><code>&quot;gt&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>+</td><td><code>&quot;plus&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>-</td><td><code>&quot;minus&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>;</td><td><code>&quot;semicolon&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>%</td><td><code>&quot;percent&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Left</td><td><code>&quot;left&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Right</td><td><code>&quot;right&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Up</td><td><code>&quot;up&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Home</td><td><code>&quot;home&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>End</td><td><code>&quot;end&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Page</td><td><code>&quot;pageup&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Page</td><td><code>&quot;pagedown&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Tab</td><td><code>&quot;tab&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Back</td><td><code>&quot;backtab&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Delete</td><td><code>&quot;del&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Insert</td><td><code>&quot;ins&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Null</td><td><code>&quot;null&quot;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Escape</td><td><code>&quot;esc&quot;</code></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
