Space Menu
The space menu is a handy shortcut for (not restricted to):
- Contextual actions
- Searching files/symbols
- Multi-cursor management
- Opening other components
The space menu can be brought up by pressing space.
Contextual actions
Contextual actions are actions that are only applicable within a specific context.
LSP Actions (only applicable in the main editor):
| Keybinding | Action |
|---|---|
c | Request code actions |
h | Request hover info |
r | Rename current symbol |
File Explorer Actions:
| Keybinding | Action |
|---|---|
a | Add a new file/folder under the current path 1 |
d | Delete current file/folder |
m | Move (or rename) the current file/folder 2 |
r | Refresh the file explorer 3 |
Pickers
| Keybinding | Object |
|---|---|
| b | Buffers (opened files) |
| f | Files (Not git ignored) |
| g | Git status (against current branch) 1 |
| G | Git status (against main branch) 2 |
| s | LSP Symbols |
| t | Themes |
Searching is powered by Helix's Nucleo, and some fzf-esque search syntax works here:
| Token | Description |
|---|---|
sbt | Items that match sbt, for example serbian-bear-tinker |
'wild | Items that must include wild |
.mp3$ | Items that end with .mp3 |
Search terms can be separated by space, which means AND, and their order is unimportant.
For example, the search query stb 'wild matches wild-serbian-bear-tiger and also stubbornly_wild.
Because every component is a buffer/editor, fuzzy search logic is also used for filtering LSP completions.
Opening other components
| Keybinding | Action |
|---|---|
e | Reveal current file in file explorer |
z | Opens the Undo Tree 1 |

Footnotes
-
To add a folder, append
/to the file name. Can be nested, and new directories will be created as required. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 -
Works like
mkdir -p, it will create new directories when required. ↩ ↩2 -
This is necessary sometimes because the file system is modified by external factors, and Ki does not watch for file changes. ↩
