   1 ## Overview
   2
   3 * There are only currently two modes, normal mode and insert mode.
   4 * Motions have repeat support, `d3w` will delete three words.
   5 * Insert mode can be entered using `i`, `I`, `a`, `A`, `o`, or `O`.
   6   * The following commands are supported in insert mode:
   7     * `ctrl-y` to copy the character right above the cursor
   8     * `ctrl-e` to copy the character right below the cursor (**disabled by default**, see note&nbsp;1 below)
   9 * Replace mode can be entered using `R`
  10   * Limitations:
  11     * If repeating with `.` gets a bit confused (e.g. by multiple cursors or when more than one line was typed), please report it with steps to reproduce if you can.
  12 * Registers are a work in progress
  13   * What Exists:
  14     * `a-z` - Named registers
  15     * `A-Z` - Appending to named registers
  16     * `*`, `+` - System clipboard registers, although there's no distinction between the two currently.
  17     * `%`   - Current filename read-only register
  18     * `_` - Blackhole register
  19   * What Doesn't Exist:
  20     * default buffer doesn't yet save on delete operations.
  21 * Setting `wrapLeftRightMotion` acts like VIM's whichwrap=h,l,<,>

  24 #### Notes
  25
  26 1. To enable the VIM key binding `ctrl-e` to copy the character right below the cursor, please put this in your `keymap.cson`:
  27
  28 ```
  29 'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.insert-mode':
  30   'ctrl-e': 'vim-mode:copy-from-line-below'
  31 ```
