how to set Hint keyMap

[aecepoglu]

the keyMap for instances of Hint seem more difficult to set than those of Modal.

Can you give an example of how to do this from config.js? I have managed to do it by overwriting the code in packages/hint.js but I'd rather not do so

There is currently no way to configure the keyMap from Hint instances, because Krabby does create the object itself. I’m not happy with that and plan to change it.

For the time being, you can override the class method Hint.KEY_MAP:

~/.config/krabby/config.js

Hint.KEY_MAP = () => ({
  Digit1: '1', Digit2: '2', Digit3: '3', Digit4: '4', Digit5: '5', Digit6: '6', Digit7: '7', Digit8: '8', Digit9: '9', Digit0: '0',
  KeyQ: 'q', KeyW: 'w', KeyE: 'e', KeyR: 'r', KeyT: 't', KeyY: 'y', KeyU: 'u', KeyI: 'i', KeyO: 'o', KeyP: 'p',
  KeyA: 'a', KeyS: 's', KeyD: 'd', KeyF: 'f', KeyG: 'g', KeyH: 'h', KeyJ: 'j', KeyK: 'k', KeyL: 'l',
  KeyZ: 'z', KeyX: 'x', KeyC: 'c', KeyV: 'v', KeyB: 'b', KeyN: 'n', KeyM: 'm'
})

EDIT

If you are looking for the keys (not the display), see the keys class method and property in hint.js.
