> defined f1 to toggle between semi-char vs copy modes

this is useful anyway but just in case you didn't know, we automatically switch to copy-mode when it makes sense.

E.g. when you activate mark, click somewhere with the mouse or when point leaves the current prompt position.

That means that with isearch or consult-line etc you're automatically in copy-mode (because why else would you search something and then jump to that position).

For other commands like avy or flash jump packages I have this in the documentation:

;; A package that runs a hook after jumping (e.g. flash): (add-hook 'flash-after-jump-hook #'ghostel-maybe-leave-input)

;; A package without one (e.g. avy) — advise its jump action: (with-eval-after-load 'avy (advice-add 'avy-action-goto :after #'ghostel-maybe-leave-input))

Personally I use copy mode a lot but I rarely have to "manually" activate the mode.
