Suggestion: Let Ctrl+j/k to navigate up and down in Multiline Question #297

Closed wanecek closed 3 years ago

wanecek commented 3 years ago

What

When prompted with e.g. a MultilineQuestion, I would love it if Ctrl+j/Ctrl+k mapped to ArrowUp and ArrowDown respectively.

Why

This would accommodate for users who prefer vim(-like) keybindings. As far as I can tell, this would'nt interfere with normal usage of the library.

One example of another projects using this keybinding is junegunn/fzf.

I realize this may be slightly niched, and fully understand if this just falls under the category feature-creep. It may also be better solved on the users' side, e.g. by having the terminal emulator do the mapping. Thoughts?

hey @wanecek currently the user can enter/exit vim mode by pressing the escape key. Does that work for you? I'm not sure having two separate keyboard-based navigation schemes is worth the extra complexity

Huh. I had no idea, thank you very much for clarifying. That should accommodate my use-case, thank you. Now that you mentioned it, I even found it written out in the README :facepalm:.

Thanks for taking your time to reply, I'll close this issue.

Awesome! Glad to hear that works. Let me know if you run into any more issues!

That's awesome but is there any way so that I can map any other key to work as esc e.g quickly pressing jk as esc as it matches the vim config and doesn't break my flow?
