You probably don't need x and X altogether

I don’t use the view mode too, but I’ve utilized it for object selection since I find the default <a-i> and <a-a> cumbersome to use… and it sort of rings with Vim’s visual mode for me.

# repurpose visual mode keys for object selection
map global normal <a-v>     'v'
map global normal <a-V>     'V'
map global normal v         '<a-i>'
map global normal V         '<a-a>'

for x, i’ve just remapped it to do <a-x> instead.
