<h3>Example Key Bindings</h3>
<p>Customize key mappings in your config:</p>
<pre><code>-- Example Lua config
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;leader&gt;w&#x27;, &#x27;:w&lt;CR&gt;&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Save file&#x27; })
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;leader&gt;q&#x27;, &#x27;:q&lt;CR&gt;&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Quit&#x27; })
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-h&gt;&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-w&gt;h&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Move to left window&#x27; })
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-j&gt;&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-w&gt;j&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Move to bottom window&#x27; })
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-k&gt;&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-w&gt;k&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Move to top window&#x27; })
vim.keymap.set(&#x27;n&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-l&gt;&#x27;, &#x27;&lt;C-w&gt;l&#x27;, { desc = &#x27;Move to right window&#x27; })</code></pre>
<p>Or in Vimscript:</p>
<pre><code>&quot; Example Vimscript config
nnoremap &lt;leader&gt;w :w&lt;CR&gt;
nnoremap &lt;leader&gt;q :q&lt;CR&gt;
nnoremap &lt;C-h&gt; &lt;C-w&gt;h
nnoremap &lt;C-j&gt; &lt;C-w&gt;j
nnoremap &lt;C-k&gt; &lt;C-w&gt;k
nnoremap &lt;C-l&gt; &lt;C-w&gt;l</code></pre>
