Keys can be disabled by binding them to the `no_op` command. Keys can be disabled by binding them to the `no_op` command.
A list of commands is available in the [Keymap](https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html) documentation ## Commands
and in the source code at [`helix-term/src/commands.rs`](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/helix-term/src/commands.rs) at the invocation of `static_commands!` macro and the `TypableCommandList`.
There are three kinds of commands that can be used in keymaps:
* Static commands: commands like `move_char_right` which are usually bound to
keys and used for movement and editing. A list of static commands is
available in the [Keymap](./keymap.html) documentation and in the source code
in [`helix-term/src/commands.rs`](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/helix-term/src/commands.rs)
at the invocation of `static_commands!` macro and the `TypableCommandList`.
* Typable commands: commands that can be executed from command mode (`:`), for
example `:write!`. See the [Commands](./commands.html) documentation for a
list of available typeable commands.
* Macros: sequences of keys that are executed in order. These keybindings
start with `@` and then list any number of keys to be executed. For example
`@miw` can be used to select the surrounding word. For now, macro keybindings
are not allowed in keybinding sequences due to limitations in the way that
command sequences are executed.
