Vim editor mode → Navigation (NORMAL mode)

Current Documentation

The Vim key table currently says:

Navigation (NORMAL mode)

Command	Action
h/j/k/l	Move left/down/up/right
w	Next word
e	End of word
b	Previous word
0	Beginning of line
$	End of line
^	First non-blank character
gg	Beginning of input
G	End of input
f{char}	Jump to next occurrence of character
F{char}	Jump to previous occurrence of character
t{char}	Jump to just before next occurrence of character
T{char}	Jump to just after previous occurrence of character
;	Repeat last f/F/t/T motion
,	Repeat last f/F/t/T motion in reverse

The terminal configuration page also points readers to this page as the authoritative reference:

Vim mode supports a subset of NORMAL- and VISUAL-mode motions and operators, such as hjkl navigation, v/V selection, and d/c/y with text objects. See the Vim editor mode reference for the full key table.

What's Wrong or Missing?

The reference is outdated after v2.1.128. The changelog says vim mode was fixed so Space in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior, but the Navigation (NORMAL mode) table does not document that motion.

Because terminal-config sends readers to interactive-mode for the full key table, the omission makes the published reference incomplete for current vim behavior.

Suggested Improvement

Add Space to the Navigation (NORMAL mode) table in interactive-mode, for example:

| Space | Move right |

If you want to make the behavior change explicit, add a short note that this matches standard vi/vim behavior as of v2.1.128.
