Design Goals

1. All functionality shall be able to be performed via the keys reachable from the home row. Where it makes sense, functionality may additionally be performed via the mouse and other keys.
2. All user input shall be modal, i.e. keys may implement different functionality depending on the current mode of the application.
3. Paper shall utilize already implemented tools and commands wherever possible; specifically paper shall support the Language Server Protocol.
