Getting started
Your first hour: the modal loop, the interactive tutor, and how to look anything up.
| Topic | What it covers | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First steps | First steps: the modal loop, opening and saving files, the command line, splits, and where to go next. | ||||||||
| Interactive tutor | The interactive tutor: a gamified lesson sequence (lives, score, high score) that teaches lattice from inside lattice. | ||||||||
| The launch dashboard | dashboard-mode: the dashboard launch buffer — the splash page lattice opens with, every row a followable link into help, commands, or the tutor. | ||||||||
| Looking things up | Help system: :describe-*, :apropos, :keymap, the | The pending-chord hint | which-key-mode: the which-key hint popup — hold a prefix and see what can follow it, read from the live keymap rather than a static list. | Cheatsheet | One-page keystroke reference: modes, motions, operators, git, LSP. | Troubleshooting | When something doesn't work: plugins, LSP, colours, logs, and first-run problems. | Known limitations | What doesn't work yet at 0.9, and what is deliberately absent. | |
