Note:

- Availability of some keys (<Help>, <S-Right>, …) depends on the UI or host
  terminal.
- If numlock is on the |TUI| receives plain ASCII values, so mapping <k0>,
  <k1>, ..., <k9> and <kPoint> will not work.
- Nvim supports mapping multibyte chars with modifiers such as `<M-ä>`. Which
  combinations actually work depends on the UI or host terminal.
- When a key is pressed using a meta or alt modifier and no mapping exists for
  that keypress, Nvim may behave as though <Esc> was pressed before the key.
- It is possible to notate combined modifiers (e.g. <M-C-T> for CTRL-ALT-T),
  but your terminal must encode the input for that to work. |tui-input|

                                                                *<>*
Examples are often given in the <> notation.  Sometimes this is just to make
clear what you need to type, but often it can be typed literally, e.g., with
the ":map" command.  The rules are:
1.  Printable characters are typed directly, except backslash and "<"
2.  Backslash is represented with "\\", double backslash, or "<Bslash>".
3.  Literal "<" is represented with "\<" or "<lt>".  When there is no
    confusion possible, "<" can be used directly.
4.  "<key>" means the special key typed (see the table above).  Examples:
    - <Esc>             Escape key
    - <C-G>             CTRL-G
    - <Up>              cursor up key
    - <C-LeftMouse>     Control- left mouse click
    - <S-F11>           Shifted function key 11
    - <M-a>             Meta- a  ('a' with bit 8 set)
    - <M-A>             Meta- A  ('A' with bit 8 set)

The <> notation uses <lt> to escape the special meaning of key names.  Using a
backslash also works, but only when 'cpoptions' does not include the 'B' flag.

Examples for mapping CTRL-H to the six characters "<Home>": >vim
        :imap <C-H> \<Home>
        :imap <C-H> <lt>Home>
The first one only works when the 'B' flag is not in 'cpoptions'.  The second
one always works.
To get a literal "<lt>" in a mapping: >vim
        :map <C-L> <lt>lt>

The notation can be used in a double quoted strings, using "\<" at the start,
e.g. "\<C-Space>".  This results in a special key code.  To convert this back
to readable text use `keytrans()`.

Modes, introduction                             *vim-modes-intro* *vim-modes*

Vim has seven BASIC modes:

                                        *Normal* *Normal-mode* *command-mode*
- Normal mode:          In Normal mode you can enter all the normal editor
                        commands.  If you start the editor you are in this
                        mode.  This is also known as command mode.

- Visual mode:          This is like Normal mode, but the movement commands
                        extend a highlighted area.  When a non-movement
                        command is used, it is executed for the highlighted
                        area.  See |Visual-mode|.
                        If the 'showmode' option is on "-- VISUAL --" is shown
                        at the bottom of the window.

- Select mode:          This looks most like the MS-Windows selection mode.
