Have you actually tried it?

Have you used `*` to pick the keyboard layout?

In Ki you don't have to know the name of the syntax node, you can just press `d m`, and the editor will show the labels of all the syntax node visible that you can jump to.

"Emacs is an editor" is as true as "Toyota Hilux is a gattling gun carrier"

TBH, it's actually not as hard as you think, most of the time, what I do is just select the whole syntax node and delete it, copy it, or replace it, and only 20% of the time would …

Sorry for derailing a bit, the search and replace using a query make sense for purly textual (non-syntactic) editing, but if you want to apply consistent syntactic modifications ac…

We have one underway in https://codeberg.org/alicealysia/ki-bindings.nvim

It's good at least in my case because I switch between Dvorak (Corne) and Qwerty (laptop's keyboard) all the time, without positional keymap, I would have to develop two sets of mu…

It's not generated by LLM, it was actually my idea, but grammar-corrected by LLM, but you are not wrong either, the docs are really subpar in a lot of ways, and not clearly explain…

Honestly they're just a bunch of data transformers plugged together to create the illusion of behaving like a human.

Do you mind sharing the Emacs package that does "tree based selection expanding" so I can better highlight their differences?

Multi-cursor, yes; structural selection, not so much, they are more like an afterthought for most editors, there’s a big difference between being treated as first-class and second-…

Thank you for trying! For character-based movement, simply press 'z' to enter the column mode. Regarding the built-in tutor, yes I really have to put in the effort, because it's so…

I think it's significantly better, because you don't need to know the specific type of node you want to select. In Ki, you only need to use `s` for any syntax node, while in nvim-t…

Selection modes are sticky, so it would be “w l l l l l”

Künstliche Intelligenz. Sounds super cool, not gonna lie.

That's true for some users certainly, but I guess most users will not know which 4 easy-to-access keybindings to downgrade in exchange for the 4 syntax navigation keys, if it were …

To be frank it takes time to get used to, especially if you are already a Vim amateur. However, once you get the hang of it you will find that most common operations can be achieve…

Ki is much inspired by Helix and Kakoune, however, it introduces an extra layer called the Selection Mode, with this, every movement is standardized to the same set of keybindings.…

I will need help unfortunately because I don't have an accessible Windows machine. For the configuration I'm planning something crazier, I might use my programming language that I …

Just `s` if your cursor is already placed on the first token of the function call node.
