Insert Mode

In this mode, Ki functions like the usual editor, where pressing keys on the keyboard types them into the current opened file.

Enter Normal Mode

To enter the normal mode, press esc (regardless of keyboard layout).

If the current selection mode is any of the following, then the selection before the cursor will be selected:

  1. Line
  2. Line Full
  3. Token
  4. Word

Otherwise, only one character before the cursor will be selected, this is because except the selection modes above, the cursor might jump beyond the current view, causing unintended disorientation.
