+1! I would love to see this feature in zellij since I use neovim a lot and this would make autocomplete with CTRL-N a breeze...
If configs accepted Shift modifier we could chant the lock into Ctrl Shift g. Tried with Shift word also upper G, no success.
Same issue here.
Is it possible to configure another key binding like ctrl+alt+g
that can be sent to the underlying program?
Even after changing my config.kdl
and removing the Ctrl + G, I still having Ctrl + G plus the the binding I set in my config working for lock. I assuming that for some reason even when removing the default keybind from the config, it still have the defaults enabled.
Here is my config.
// If you'd like to override the default keybindings completely, be sure to change "keybinds" to "keybinds clear-defaults=true"
keybinds {
normal {
// uncomment this and adjust key if using copy_on_select=false
// bind "Alt c" { Copy; }

I think that your issue can be solved by reading the first line of the file you posted:
// If you'd like to override the default keybindings completely, be sure to change "keybinds" to "keybinds clear-defaults=true"
I assume that it means that unless you explicitly clear the defaults, the original <C-g>
binding remains in place.
Also, as a workaround you could write the ^G
character straight to the terminal with Write 007
bound to a key or zellij action write 007
executed.
Thank you Very much @Isti115 , I really missed that.
Do you know where and how should I set this variable?
I've tried as a child inside keybinds. Also plain in the file root, in beginning also after the plugins object.
Also tried to variate clear-defaults true
also clear_defaults true
as I notice some other variables in comments using underline instead of dash.
As far as I can tell, you should put it right after the keybinds
node, exactly as shown in the comment. You can read more about the KDL configuration language here: https://kdl.dev/
Yeah, was the first thing I've tried.
Just figured it out, by this doc page
keybinds clear-defaults=true {
...
}
Perhaps a good solution here would be to introduce a new mode, verbatim
say, for which every key by default is sent to the underlying program, after which the previous mode is restored?
(Any solution which rebinds lock from Ctrl g
to another key combination blocks that key combination from being sent, which isn't ideal.)
I got used to remap lock into Ctrl + Q
As I already use to disable Ctrl + Q to no accidentally close zellij
By default
ctrl+g
set the interface to locked mode, and when in locked mode,ctrl+g
reset zellij to normal mode. So how do I sendctrl+g
to the application I’m using (like vim for instance)?In tmux, the prefix is
ctrl+b
, butctrl+b
thenb
will sendctrl+b
to the underlying application. Likewise forctrl+a
thena
sendingctrl+a
inside screen. I didn’t found a similar way to do it withctrl+g
in zellij.
