3.2 Keybinds

Nomad intends to support Emacs-like keybinds because it’s design was inspired from Emacs. However there is no limitation on what Keybindings Nomad can support. Nomad has the concept of key-maps just like Emacs and users should be able to define their own keymaps.

At the top level you might want to use ‘M-x‘ (Meta/Alt X) to use the execute command menu.

In a Webview buffer the ‘webview-mode-map‘ is active which contains the following keybinds.

Key strokeCommand
"C-b"(next-buffer)
"C-u"(back)
"C-m"(forward)
"C-n"(scroll-down)
"C-f"(hints)
"C-p"(scroll-up)
"C-r"(reload)

In Nomad’s Ibuffer menu the ‘ctrl-x-map‘ is active which has these keybindings.

Key strokeCommand
"b"(next-buffer)
"k"(kill-buffer)
