Documentation? I really don't know how to use Lite

[ianyepan]

I've just started trying out in the past hour.... and I love the beautiful minimalist UI.
However, I have trouble performing the most basic tasks like deleting/creating a new file, opening a project etc.
Any documentation or pointers would be appreciated!

It takes a lot of reading but I'm slowly crawling my way to implementing Emacs keybindings (and hopefully the C-x thing).

litemacs...

Btw, for closing a doc (an opened file), hit: Ctrl+W.

This is the output of the keymap variable by the luainspect utility.
This is of course not documentation, but it’s much easier to understand than looking in files ..

I documented this some weeks ago for myself and made a markdown document out of it #163. Maybe it will be merged.

ctrl+shift+p then type what you think a command would be called. For example 'open'. Choose one from list with up/down arrows and return key.
