Mouse Peasant

Some haiku about using the mouse

- Confucious probably

This is the premier config for the discerning Mouse Heretic seeking to use AstroNvim!.

Goals

• Have all the familiar keyboard shortcuts from VScode/Sublimetext (prefer Ctrl and Arrow keys over old and outdated vimkeys)
• Make MouseMenu a first class citizen

Features

• ctrl + x and ctrl + v: cut and paste everywhere
• ctrl + shift + up/down: moves a line or the selection up or down
• shift + arrow keys: moves to SELECT mode and keeps drawing a highlight
  • ctrl + shift + left/right: same but jumps words instead of just characters
• ctrl + leftclick: is goto definition
  • ctrl + shift + -: goback from definition
• ctrl + p: open up a command palette of sorts (:Telescope keymaps)
• ctrl + z: undo
• ctrl + shift + z: redo
• tab: indent line or selection
• shift + tab: unindent line or selection
• ctrl + space: autocomplete menu

Todo

• ctrl + p: Work out how to merge :Telescope keymaps with :Telescope :commands
• ctrl + \: work out how to bind this to AstroNvims comment/uncomment feature

Mouse Menus

The goal is to have a MouseMenu for all the relevant above items and more.

File Menu

Currently there is a menu for NeoTree.
