keys you type won't actually type text. Instead, they will
perform various actions with the text. This allows for more
efficient editing. This tutor will teach you how you can make

=================================================================
k * h is on the left
← h l → * l is on the right
j * j looks like a down arrow
The cursor can be moved using the h, j, k, l keys, as shown
above. The cursor / arrow keys will also work, but it is faster
to use the hjkl keys as they are closer to the other keys you
will be using. Try moving around to get a feel for hjkl.
Once you're ready, hold j to continue to the next lesson.

As you saw, typing w moves the cursor forward until the start
of the next word, selecting the text traversed. This is useful
for moving around text and for selecting text to operate on.
Some common motions include:
w - Move forward to before the beginning of the next word.
e - Move forward to the end of the current word.
b - Move backward to the beginning of the current word.
The w,e,b motions also have counterparts - W,E,B - which
traverse WORDS instead of words. WORDS are only separated by
whitespace, whereas words can be separated by other characters
in addition to whitespace.
All of these motions select the text they traverse.

=================================================================
The most recent search with / is stored in register /.
n and N both refer to register /, this means we can set that
register without having to type in a search.
Type * to copy the selection into register /, setting the search
term to the selection. This copies the primary selection, which
you will learn about in the section on cycling selections.

--> A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
--> And no one can talk to a horse of course.
Note: * is like a shorthand for "/ y as all it really does is
copy the selection into the / register.

A property of Select mode (v) when using n and N is that instead

Helix can keep track of "jumps" which are big movements, like
searching or jumping to the definition of a function in code. It
stores these in what's called the jumplist.

Extend tutor file (#2133) * Adds tutorial sections for multiple areas including: - Changing selections to uppercase / lowercase - yanking and pasting - macros - selecting to chars with t and f PS: I got kind of carried away and put off commiting for a while, will commit to commit more often in the future. * Changed section titles to all uppercase * Added recap and section about jumplist * Added sections for searching in file, joining lines and indenting lines. * Removed some trailing whitespace * Evened out the space between sections to all be 5 lines * Add section on opening lines (o) and recap * Changed the amount of lines between sections This is so that - on a 24 line terminal - only one section is visible at a time and page up/page down goes straight to the next section keeping the header at the top. * Punctuation error Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Punctuation error Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Spelling error Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Remove unnecessary word Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Reword note about searches Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Change word Co-authored-by: Omnikar <omkar.subramaniam@icloud.com> * Update tutor file * Made some small changes suggested by Omnikar * Added better demo for macros. * Small changes - Add newlines at the end - Make "MACROS" section fit into 22 lines - Correct mistake of saying helix copied to clipboard in "COPYING AND PASTING TEXT" * Reformatted notes in copying/pasting section to fit in screen * Add a note about n and N and their difference to Vim. * Combine f and t commands into one section. * Removed t/T section which was merged into the f/F section. * Merge sections on manipulating case into one. * Gave section's numbers * Convert 'press' to 'type' in some places * Added examples of how prompt lines should look. * Reformatted notes in copy/pasting section. * More rewording to more comfortably fit sections on screen. * Grammatical error. * Missing periods. * Missing capital + small reformat * Fix mis-numbered section * Reworded to use these conventions when referring to inputs: - "Press" for single keypresses - "Type" for multiple keypresses / modifiers - "Use" when referencing two inputs as a pair. * till not 'til * Say 'press' instead of 'type' when referring to symbols * 'outdent' not 'unindent' * Typo and grammar. * Replace all 'press's with 'type's (apart from places it would make no sense in). * Improve examples for joining and indenting lines. * Section alignment.
