Meta.vim brings select keybindings from readline, Emacs, and VS Code to Vim. Most of them involve the Meta key, which is Alt in my terminal emulator.
Most mappings work in normal, insert, visual, and cmdline mode.
<C-A> and <C-E> go to the beginning/end of the line. For original <C-A> behavior: <M-x> (added) and <C-X> (built-in) increase/decrease a number. For original <C-E> behavior: <C-Y> (built-in) and <C-H> (added) scroll up and down.
<C-K> kills the rest of the line in insert/cmdline mode. (<C-U> is built-in and kills the beginning of the line.)
<C-S-K> deletes the current line.
NOTE: On macOS, the mapping to delete the current line should be <D-S-K> (i.e. Cmd+Shift+K) but neovim does not seem to support this even with its CSI u support. Therefore, macOS users should map Cmd+Shift+K to emit Ctrl+Shift+K in their terminals.
<C-T> transposes the previous two characters in insert/cmdline mode. For original <C-T> behavior: <C-F> (added) and <C-D> (built-in) indent/dedent the current line in insert mode.
<M-t> and <M-T> transpose the previous two words/WORDS.
<M-Left> and <M-Right> navigate by words. <M-BS> and <M-Del> delete them.
<M-S-Left> and <M-S-Right> navigate by WORDS. <M-B> and <M-S-Del> delete them.
NOTE: The mapping for deleting WORDS backwards should be <M-S-BS>, but Vim cannot detect this. Instead, you can map ShiftAltBackspace to \x1bB in your terminal emulator, as I have done in my kitty config.
<M-Up> and <M-Down> move the current line/selection up/down.
<M-S-Up> and <M-S-Down> copy the current line/selection up/down.
Requires vim-unimpaired for <M-Up> and <M-Down>.
