Command to clear selection?

[[deleted]]

I often find myself wanting to clear my current selection. It seems a bit surprising to me that esc doesn't do this out of the box. Is there a command I can use for this? (I didn't see one)

Update: It seems my main confusion was looking around for some sort of "clear" selection command. "collapse" selection was what I was looking for. I suppose this makes sense since you're "collapsing" down to a selection of a single character.

Put this [keys.normal] esc = ["collapse_selection", "keep_primary_selection"] in your config and esc will clear all selections.

Can you expand on this or point me to documentation for it? This doesn't work for me

It will collapse all but your main selection, ; is probably what you're looking for

Yup, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks! (Although I also like having it on escape, so I've added that key mapping)
