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).

When entering normal mode, 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.

The following keybindings only work when the completion dropdown is opened.
