Exit quits and Kill stops commands, as in acme
Kill quit the editor, which in acme is Exit; acme's Kill stops the commands it started. Exit now quits as acme's does (exec.c, rowclean): it refuses once, naming each pane with unsaved text, and quits when asked again with nothing edited since (a small scratch is not asked about). Kill, bare or with names, stops the commands pardes typed into a terminal (an exec, a middle click, a pty/run) while their shell's marks say they run, by SIGTERM to the terminal's foreground job, never to the shell (acme posts the kill note, which terminates). Both are session builtins; the topbar's Kill becomes Exit, same width, and every golden's topbar row changed by exactly that word (checked line by line); the builtins script scrolls one more row for the index's new line.

| `Ctrl-w` + `h/j/k/l`/arrows | directional pane focus prefix — editor normal mode only | pardes' own window handling (helix window mode skipped, section C). Runs the SAME `Left`/`Down`/`Up`/`Right` builtins `SPC w h/j/k/l` runs; Raw **tty** mode forwards Ctrl-w to the child. Insert mode owns `Ctrl-w` = delete-word-back, so a tag being TYPED into swallows it; from a tag in normal mode it moves focus to the neighbour's BODY, as from a body, and from the top pane `Up` reaches the column and workspace tags | pardes-specific |
| `Alt-n` | new terminal below (outside raw tty) | shadows helix `Alt-n` TS sibling-select — skipped anyway (tree-sitter) | pardes-specific |
| `Alt-c` | move active terminal to a fresh column (outside raw tty) | helix `Alt-c` is change-noyank; the pardes window op wins (do-not-touch contract). `Alt-d` + `i` covers the behavior | waived (`alt-c-window-op`) |
-| `Space` (normal, body) | starts the pardes LEADER: a key path runs the same builtin words used by tags and the topbar. The main groups are `f` files, `h` docs, `c` columns, `t` toggles/effects, `a` panel animations, `s` session, `j` jumps, `l` language, and `w` directional focus; `SPC ?` lists every path and `<prefix> ?` lists one group in `+Help`. The pending path appears on the active pane's transient body/message row. Esc or an unmapped key abandons it. Paths, Help rows, and dispatch are all generated from the builtin registry at comptime; the leader applies only to a BODY in normal mode because tags and tty programs own their input | pardes-specific; helix spends Space on pickers/LSP (section C), while pardes uses acme-style executable words |

| `SPC y` `SPC Y` `SPC p` `SPC P` `SPC R` | helix's clipboard menu on helix's own letters: yank the selection to the system clipboard (`ClipYank`) or the PRIMARY selection alone (`ClipYankMain`), paste the system clipboard after (`ClipPaste`) / before (`ClipPasteBefore`) the selection, replace the selection with it (`ClipReplace`) | the ONLY five words in pardes that touch the desktop's clipboard — `y`/`d`/`c`/`p`/`P`/`R` and the acme cut/paste chords are the internal register alone. Builtins rather than bare chords because a leader path names a builtin: they land in Help's index and are executable words like every other verb. One divergence: pardes keeps a single register VALUE where helix keeps one per range, so `SPC y` at N cursors joins them with newlines (`Pardes.setYank`, the divergence `msel-yank-paste` already waives). On a tty the write is OSC 52 out and the READ is OSC 52 back, which many terminals refuse or gate — so `SPC y` works there and `SPC p` can be a no-op | out of corpus |
| a paste from the OUTER terminal | one `Event.paste`, spliced in at the cursor | the tty shell enables bracketed paste and coalesces `paste_start`..`paste_end` into a single event; before that the bytes arrived as individual key presses and normal mode RAN them, which is how a pasted `d` deleted a line. The bytes deliberately never enter the yank register — clipboard and default register are separate stores in both directions | pardes-specific |
| `/` (any pane) | pardes' own plain-substring search into a `+Search` output buffer: the pattern is typed on a line of its own on the pane's notice band, Enter fills the buffer, and its rows are ordinary look targets. Enter also GOES to the first row — the buffer is focused and then the step `n` is and the look Enter is run in it (`Pardes.lookFirstHit`), so `/foo` lands on the first hit with the matched span selected. A pattern that matched nothing opens its empty buffer and moves nothing | KEEP, do not touch; not in the corpus (helix `/` is regex search). Find and Grep answer with OTHER files and deliberately do NOT jump. The stepping half is the next row | pardes-specific |
