Kakoune: suggestion: add another key to clear selection

Created on 24 May 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: mawww/kakoune

First, just start kak this weekend, and really love it.
It's fast, simple.
I'm already able to write a syntax color for q.
And thank you for bring this great tool into the world.

Currently, only space can clear multiple selection ( except main).
If the user map space to , (user mode), he will have trouble to quit multiple selection.
Can we add another key to exit multiple selection? like or ?
Thanks

If you map <space> to ,, you can map something else to <space> and it won't cause an infinite loop. Kakoune mappings always behave like Vim's "noremap" mappings, if you're familiar with those.

Key bindings are a very scarce resources in Kakoune, very few keys are left available so I dont think I will allow any feature to be bound to multiple keys at the same time. Remapping the key should fix your problem.
