Changing hjkl -> jkl;

[lpkha21]

In neovim I was able to change hjkl (default moving keymapping) to jkl;

I was able to do the same here in Normal mode:

[keys.normal]
"j" = "move_char_left" # Left arrow
"k" = "move_visual_line_down" # Down arrow
"l" = "move_visual_line_up" # Up arrow
";" = "move_char_right" # Right arrow

but in visual mode:

[keys.select]
"j" = "move_char_left" # Extend selection left (same as left arrow)
"k" = "move_visual_line_down" # Extend selection down (same as down arrow)
"l" = "move_visual_line_up" # Extend selection up (same as up arrow)
";" = "move_char_right" # Extend selection right (same as right arrow)
"h" = "collapse_selection"

it doesn't extend select. this only moves the cursor. Is there any way to make this remapping to work on all modes equally.

for example directly mapping the j -> h, k -> j, l -> k, ; -> l

this is the way I solved this issue in Vim.

vim.cmd([[
nnoremap j h
nnoremap k j
nnoremap l k
nnoremap ; l

vnoremap j h
vnoremap k j
vnoremap l k
vnoremap ; l
]])

You need to use the extend_char_XXX variants
