Jump to other side of selection?

[bellwether-softworks]

I'm looking for the equivalent of pressing o in vim's select mode, in which your cursor bounces to the opposite end of the selection. Does this command, or some functional equivalent, exist in helix?

Yeah this can be done with Alt-; which flips the anchor and the head of the selection, in helix a selection has a head and an anchor the head is basically the cursor so when the cursor moves so does the head of the selection

Possibly helpful for other searchers -- in the commands palette, this is called flip_selections (I don't think you can currently search for e.g. Alt-; or <A-;>).

After pressing space ?, you can search for keybindings by starting with %b e.g.: %b A-;.

Also, the %b isn't the only special search syntax, nor is it limited to the help picker, which is just one picker of many. See: Filtering Picker Results:

If a picker shows multiple columns, you may apply the filter to a specific column by prefixing the column name with %. Column names can be shortened to any prefix, so %p, %pa or %pat all mean the same as %path. For example, a query of helix %p .toml !lang in the global search picker searches for the term "helix" within files with paths ending in ".toml" but not including "lang".
