Custom Keybinds

[Makeshift]

Is it possible to have custom keybinds, or rebind the current keybinds?

For example, I would like to rebind Enter to paste onto the commandline for editing (instead of Right), and Esc to abort and paste the current query.

If this isn't an intended feature, would you be able to direct me to the file where in-app keybinds are located? I'm not incredibly familiar with Go.

Thanks!

Stupid simple patch just for my needs:

Thank you very much @Makeshift for posting that! I was wanting to do exactly the same.

Esc for Exit Enter for Paste not for Exec

Fits much better with my workflow now.

Also, for anyone else wanting to do this, note that you can go build . for many go projects, but the author has actually built a nice Makefile that grabs all of the required source dependencies.

So once you've edited the keybindings you need, just a simple:

make
make install
# which runs scripts/install.sh

or if you don't need to test, just

make install

Thank you both! 🙌

I do plan to refresh the UI using a much better terminal UI library - https://charm.sh And as part of that I want to introduce changed bindings where Enter works as Edit

Wow, that's a beautiful library, thanks for the link! Definitely going to investigate that for my own projects too
