Separate 'brace action' and 'match selection' in keymap
This changes the behavior of m to only match selections.
m = mi
M = ma
Brace actions are relocated to ^.
Issue: #3852
I like the idea of easier access to mi/ma.
I don't like relocating brace actions to ^ though. ^ has been proposed and tried for a few Kakoune keymaps (marks, https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/pull/1116) but it has never stuck. It's not very discoverable. (Plus I'd like to use it for marks/selections #3720 :P)
The normal-mode keymap is already very full which is why it's hard to separate key sequences like m out like this.
I like the idea of ^ being reserved for marks also.
I do think brace functionality deserves it's own key rather than being nested under another diag.
I am also not a fan of ^. This also breaks the "in" / "around" mnemonic. I don't think this is worth saving a single keystroke.
