  if not incsel.init_selection() then
    vim.cmd "normal \r\n"
  end
end, {
  desc = "Start selecting nodes with nvim-treesitter"
})
vim.keymap.set('x', '<CR>', function()
  if not incsel.incremental() then

  end
end, {
  desc = "Increment selection to named node"
})
vim.keymap.set('x', '<BS>', function()
  if not incsel.decremental() then
    vim.cmd "normal \x1b"

end, {
  desc = "Shrink selection to previous named node"
