Further information

Hi! First of all thank you so much for all the hard work on zellij! <3 I'm just trying it and mostly really like it, just having trouble with some keybinding stuff since the default bindings clash with the helix editor.

I want to unbind Ctrl o since it conflicts with my helix hotkeys. I was successfully able to bind Ctrl u to the session shortcut, but was not able to unbind Ctrl o, as it is currently still intercepted by zellij for the session mode shortcut.

I was previously able to successfully rebind Ctrl h to Ctrl k but the same method did not work here.

Reproduction steps:

use default config and dump into config file
add unbind "Ctrl o" as top level item in keybinds
- this is working for "Ctrl h" for me, but not "Ctrl o"
change bindings for going into and out of session mode to "Ctrl u"
verify no other instance of "Ctrl o" is in the entire config file
open zellij
observe that the info bar shows <u> as the shortcut for session mode
press Ctrl o
observe that session mode is entered

here is my full config for completeness (with comments removed):

// If you'd like to override the default keybindings completely, be sure to change "keybinds" to "keybinds clear-defaults=true"
keybinds {
    unbind "Ctrl h" // used for ctrl+backspace by alacritty
    unbind "Ctrl o" // helix
    normal {
        // uncomment this and adjust key if using copy_on_select=false
        // bind "Alt c" { Copy; }
    }
    locked {
        bind "Ctrl g" { SwitchToMode "Normal"; }
    }
    shared_except "locked" {
        // not sure I like this one. I hate that Ctrl + Tab is not possible. https://zellij.dev/documentation/keybindings-keys

I think you can do it by reading the first line :shushing_face:.

// If you'd like to override the default keybindings completely, be sure to change "keybinds" to "keybinds clear-defaults=true"
keybinds clear-defaults=true {
    normal {
        // […]
}

Using the clear-defaults=true you don’t need to unbind every keys you rebind too. It should work for you since you looks to be rebinding a few keys differently than the default. Note: if you know it but Ctrl + u is "cut everything from my cursor position till the start of the line" in most shell. You can later past with Ctrl + y. I also use it to "fix" when I don’t think I started a password right.

Woops, today I learned I can't read, my bad. thanks for the reply and the tips! Gonna see if I can get all the shortcuts rebound sensibly. Maybe I'll just have to rebind some helix keys.
