Looking at the usage page of the docs leaves me confused. Does this rebind the ':'-key system wide??? How would that work with using the key in normal text entry fields, or in vim?

I'm finding the Toy tutorial easier to read, and easier to use as a jumping off point into the MLIR reference docs. I thought the writing style in this tutorial was a bit dense, and Bazel seems like an unnecessary complication. Only an
