Keymap
Canonical source. This file is the project's only key table. The prose guides — docs/polish.md, docs/planning/ux-polish-plan.md, the usage guides — point here instead of repeating the table. Repeating it is how the divergences appeared: :normal instead of modal_mode, modal_editing in place of the real id, and a :help that does not exist. All were fixed in M2, and all were of the same class.
The sections group the keys by domain, derived from the id prefix by a deterministic rule — a new id lands in the right group by its own name, with no second table to maintain. What holds the (key, id) pairs is TestDocumentedKeymapMatchesTheBindings, which compares both directions: a key in the code and missing here, or here and missing from the code, fails by listing exactly the difference.
Remapping is configuration, not code. See docs/guides/en/config.md.

Notes
Ctrl+Shift+<letter>is ambiguous in terminals that do not speak keyboard enhancements: when the terminal cannot tell the difference, the key arrives as the variant without Shift. The editor resolves the ambiguity from the fields of the key itself, without guessing the terminal — seedocs/ui-ux/degradation.md.- A couple of keys use characters that need escaping in code:
Ctrl+"andCtrl+\. They were once lost by a generator that did not handle the escaped quote — that is why the table is produced from the Go API, and not by regex over the source. - This document does not cover each surface's local keymap (arrow keys inside the tree, for example): that is the focus graph, in
docs/ui-ux/focus-graph.md.
