## Changing vim mode settings

You can change the following settings to modify vim mode's behavior:

| Property                     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                   | Default Value |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| default_mode                 | The default mode to start in. One of "normal", "insert", "replace", "visual", "visual_line", "visual_block", "helix_normal".                                                                  | "normal"      |
| use_system_clipboard         | Determines how system clipboard is used:<br><ul><li>"always": use for all operations</li><li>"never": only use when explicitly specified</li><li>"on_yank": use for yank operations</li></ul> | "always"      |
| use_multiline_find           | If `true`, `f` and `t` motions extend across multiple lines.                                                                                                                                  | false         |
| use_smartcase_find           | If `true`, `f` and `t` motions are case-insensitive when the target letter is lowercase.                                                                                                      | false         |
| toggle_relative_line_numbers | If `true`, line numbers are relative in normal mode and absolute in insert mode, giving you the best of both options.                                                                         | false         |
| custom_digraphs              | An object that allows you to add custom digraphs. Read below for an example.                                                                                                                  | {}            |
| highlight_on_yank_duration   | The duration of the highlight animation(in ms). Set to `0` to disable                                                                                                                         | 200           |

Here's an example of adding a digraph for the zombie emoji. This allows you to type `ctrl-k f z` to insert a zombie emoji. You can add as many digraphs as you like.

```json
{
  "vim": {
    "custom_digraphs": {
      "fz": "🧟‍♀️"
    }
  }
}
```

Here's an example of these settings changed:

```json
{
  "vim": {
    "default_mode": "insert",
    "use_system_clipboard": "never",
    "use_multiline_find": true,
    "use_smartcase_find": true,
    "toggle_relative_line_numbers": true,
    "highlight_on_yank_duration": 50,
    "custom_digraphs": {
      "fz": "🧟‍♀️"
    }
  }
}
```
