2 years ago @byorgey FYI, matterhorn has such a keybinding configuration system. You are welcome to rip off any/all of it that you like. The core of it shouldn't be too tightly coupled to Matterhorn and could probably be abstracted just a tad (e.g. on key event handler monad). I haven't thought much about whether Matterhorn's functionality could be cleanly factored out as a separate package, but I know that many brick applications are probably going to want this and it would be sad to reinvent the wheel.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It always takes me a second to think about the right key shortcut to get to the panel I want, and it's annoying.
Describe the solution you'd like Personally, I think I would find it more natural if the key shortcuts were arranged physically on the keyboard in a way that mirrors the physical layout of the panels. For example, I would like
However, I doubt everyone will agree! Some people might use a different keyboard layout. Some people might simply prefer different keys.
The most general solution would be a way to configure keyboard shortcuts, i.e. some kind of "configuration" menu that would let you set whatever shortcuts you like (and, in time, other things as well). Configuration should be stored in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOMEso that it would be persistent across runs of the app.
