I think I'm too into vim to like this now. I miss more "advanced" gestures, like: daw, caw... Not being able to edit a word without positioning caret at the beginning feels limiting.

I know this defeats the purpose of minimal configuration, but you can define those kinds of actions fairly easily by defining keymaps that compose multiple commands[0]. For what you're after, you could do this:

  keymap:
    normal:
      W:
        - "cursor::move_to_start_of_previous_token"
        - "buffer::change_token"

You can view the default keymap right in Amp, too, as well as a list of all of the commands. Happy to entertain a PR that sets that as a default keymap going forward. :)

Thanks, I'll try it out. Maybe I'll drop you a PR if I have time :).
