People coming from iTerm2, Terminal.app or tmux had to rebind cmux shortcuts one at a time, or hand-edit shortcuts.bindings. Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts now has a Base Keymap picker, like Zed's base keymap setting, and the Command Palette has matching Base Keymap: ... commands.

What the user sees

  • Picker options: cmux (Default), iTerm2, Terminal.app, tmux-style (Ctrl-B Prefix). When the file matches no single preset, the picker reads Custom.
  • Choosing a preset first shows a preview under the picker: each change as Action: old → new, plus Cancel and Apply Keymap. Nothing is written until Apply. For iTerm2 the preview starts with a note that ⌘1…9 moves from workspaces to tabs (workspaces move to ⌥⌘1…9).
  • A palette command opens Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts with the same preview. No modal alert.
  • The preview is derived from the current bindings (after they have loaded) and planned again on Apply, so edits made while it is open are respected.
  • Apply writes only the overrides that differ from cmux defaults into ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json, in the readable string/array form ("cmd+shift+c", ["ctrl+b", "c"]).
  • Switching again removes the previous preset's overrides. Choosing cmux removes them all.
  • A binding set by hand, in cmux.json or as a legacy Settings (UserDefaults) shortcut, is never overwritten; the preview says it was kept.
  • Ownership is inferred from values, not recorded. A binding typed by hand that equals a preset's value for that action counts as that preset's, so switching presets (including back to cmux) replaces or removes it.
  • A new binding that macOS claims by default (Spotlight, Mission Control, screenshots, Dock hiding, and so on) gets a warning that names the macOS shortcut and points to System Settings. None of the shipped presets trigger it today.

Presets

Only actions cmux has are mapped. Where a terminal's default already matches cmux, no override is written. For iTerm2 that covers Cmd-D, Cmd-Shift-D, Cmd-Opt-arrows, Cmd-Shift-Return, Cmd-T, Cmd-W and Cmd-Shift-[ / ].

Preset Overrides
iTerm2 Cmd-1…9 selects surfaces (tabs), Cmd-Opt-1…9 selects workspaces (windows), Cmd-Shift-C toggles copy mode, Cmd-Ctrl-arrows resize panes
Terminal.app Cmd-Opt-W closes other tabs in the pane, Cmd-Shift-I renames the tab
tmux-style Ctrl-B prefix: c new workspace, x close tab, & close workspace, n/p next/previous workspace, 1…9 select workspace, , rename workspace, w go to workspace, %/" split right/down, arrows focus pane, o next pane, z zoom, [ copy mode

tmux-style uses cmux's existing two-stroke chords. It maps tmux windows to cmux workspaces, since a workspace is what holds the splits.

How it works

  • CmuxSettings owns the logic:
    • the preset table (ShortcutKeymapPreset);
    • the diff (plan(from:legacyBindings:)), which yields writes, removals and kept user bindings, and uses legacy UserDefaults shortcuts for the "before" value;
    • active-preset detection;
    • the macOS default shortcut table (MacOSSystemShortcut.conflicts). It checks both strokes of a chord and expands numbered actions to their 1…9 family.
  • JSONConfigStore.applyShortcutKeymap makes one leaf edit per change through the existing set/reset, so comments and other keys survive.
  • The Settings row is the only place that applies a plan. The palette hands the chosen preset to it through SettingsRuntime.keymapProposals.
  • The active preset is inferred from shortcuts.bindings. No new config key or schema change.

Relation to #14868 (setting actions, settingPresets, cmux config set): this PR stays compatible with it and doesn't build on it.

  • A settingPresets entry merges keys but can't remove the keys a previous preset wrote, and switching back to default depends on that.
  • This PR adds no top-level key and uses a distinct method name (applyShortcutKeymap), so the two don't collide.
  • Once Add setting actions, setting presets, and cmux config set #14868 lands, the leaf edits could move onto its multi-edit mutateRoot to write in one atomic publication.

Verification

  • Package tests added in CmuxSettings (ShortcutKeymapPresetTests.swift). The first 15 tests passed locally with swift test --filter "ShortcutKeymap|MacOSSystemShortcut". The follow-up commit added 3 tests (legacy bindings kept, legacy value revealed on removal, hand-typed preset value) that only CI has run. They cover:
    • every override parses, passes the action's binding policy and differs from its default;
    • preset to override diff, switching between presets, and switching back to cmux;
    • user bindings kept (cmux.json and legacy UserDefaults), and a malformed managed binding treated as a customization;
    • active-preset detection;
    • each preset introduces no collision with another cmux action, using the same when-clause and priority rule as the Settings recorder;
    • each preset has no macOS conflicts;
    • macOS conflict detection for single strokes, chords and numbered families;
    • a round trip through JSONConfigStore that keeps comments and unrelated keys.
  • Local static checks on the first commit passed: lint-xcstrings.py, localization_catalog.py check (0 parity errors), swift-syntax, project normalization and package groups. The test-wiring and feature-flag checks timed out under machine load; the wiring lints they run printed ok.
  • Not verified: the app and CmuxSettingsUI weren't compiled locally, and there's no dogfood on a tagged build yet. CI compiles them. Dogfood should check the picker preview and Apply, the palette opening that preview, and that a tmux chord fires after switching.

Localization: 43 new strings (Settings row and Apply button, summary lines and the iTerm2 note, palette title, preset names, 27 macOS shortcut names), all in the nine required locales of Resources/Localizable.xcstrings. iTerm2, Terminal.app and the %1$@: %2$@ → %3$@ format are recorded as brand/format literals in localization-allowed-omissions.json.

Left out

  • Cmd-[ / Cmd-] for iTerm2's previous/next pane. cmux uses them for Focus Back/Forward and browser Back/Forward. Rebinding would either collide with browser Back in browser panes or remove focus history, so the preset leaves them.
  • Terminal.app's Cmd-D "Split Window" stacks panes top/bottom. Swapping cmux's split directions for it seemed worse than keeping Cmd-D as split right.
  • tmux Ctrl-B Ctrl-arrow resizing: macOS takes Ctrl-arrows for Spaces.
  • Conflict checks use macOS's out-of-box shortcuts, not the user's System Settings changes. Ctrl-1…9 (Switch to Desktop) isn't in the table because it's off by default.
  • No docs page change. The contributor skill cmux-keyboard-shortcuts now points at the picker.

Changelog

Added: Base Keymap presets (iTerm2, Terminal.app, tmux-style) in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts and the Command Palette, which write only the differing shortcuts and flag macOS conflicts.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Base Keymap presets for cmux, iTerm2, Terminal, and tmux in Keyboard Shortcuts settings.
    • Preview proposed changes before applying them. Previews identify macOS shortcut conflicts and bindings that will be retained.
    • Choose keymap presets from the command palette or find them through settings search.
    • Preset changes preserve hand-set shortcuts and support existing shortcut bindings.

Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts gets a Base Keymap picker (cmux, iTerm2,
Terminal.app, tmux-style) and the Command Palette gets matching
"Base Keymap: ..." commands. Choosing a preset writes only the
shortcuts.bindings overrides that differ from cmux defaults, removes
overrides another preset wrote, and keeps bindings the user set by hand.
The result lists each changed shortcut and flags any that macOS claims
by default.

The preset table, plan, active-preset detection, macOS conflict table
and the store write live in CmuxSettings with package tests.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 20b4e

No merge-blocking issue was established. A filesystem failure during preset application could leave a partial keymap, which can be corrected by applying the preset again once writes succeed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 20b4e

Preset changes are limited to the local user's shortcuts and require confirmation, but a failed application can leave a mixture of keymaps, and an edit made during application can be overwritten. The available evidence does not show a new remote or privileged entrypoint.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · observed: A failed or interrupted preset application can persist only some removals or additions, leaving a mixed shortcut configuration without apply-wide rollback.
  • Medium · architecture · inferred: Apply respects hand edits already visible to the model, but a same-action edit made after planning can be overwritten by a later preset write without checking the planned prior value.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The observed new path changes the invoking user's persisted shortcut bindings, not a service identity or deployment configuration. Its immediate exposure is local keyboard behavior and user-owned configuration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The observed Command Palette producer passes a typed preset proposal to Settings rather than directly writing bindings; Settings requires a separate Apply action.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Per-write atomicity limits torn-file exposure, but it does not preserve shortcut ownership or a consistent preset state across an entire failed or concurrent application.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider applying the preset as one conditional configuration transition: check targeted bindings against the planned source values and commit all changes together, or provide conflict-aware rollback and recovery.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

The new keymap persistence path plans from ShortcutKeymapPresetRow.snapshot, which uses model.latestBindings rather than a fresh authoritative read. latestBindings prefers pendingBindings; that optimistic map can remain older than cmux.json while an edit is in flight, even when the event-driven bindings value receives an external update. The row does not block on or refresh this state, and applyShortcutKeymap applies the cached plan without checking each change.before against the current file. The hasLoadedBindings guard handles a cold model, but stale pending or missed external changes can still cause preset writes or removals to overwrite current user bindings.

Resolution

Before planning or applying, read the current ShortcutBindingsSnapshot and legacy bindings from their authoritative stores, and do not let pendingBindings substitute for that read. Replan immediately before persistence, or add an expected-before compare-and-set to applyShortcutKeymap so it aborts and refreshes when the file differs. Keep the cold-load guard, and ensure pending writes cannot run concurrently with keymap application without a fresh replan.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The new ShortcutKeymapPresetRow.apply starts an unretained Task { ... } for the real preset-write operation. The task is not stored or cancelled, although isApplying and UI state depend on its completion. This matches the rule's fire-and-forget lifecycle failure. The new proposal inbox uses Observation, not Combine, and the diff adds no other flagged concurrency pattern.

Resolution

Make the apply operation caller-owned. Store the returned Task&lt;Void, Never&gt; in row-owned or model-owned state, cancel it before a replacement and when the row lifecycle ends, and check cancellation before changing isApplying, proposedPreset, or recording results. Keep JSONConfigStore.applyShortcutKeymap as the async-throws operation and invoke it from that owned task.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new Base Keymap Apply path forwards raw internal errors to a cmux user. ShortcutKeymapPresetRow.apply catches applyShortcutKeymap failures and calls model.errorLog.record(error, keyID: ...). SettingsErrorLog.record stores error.localizedDescription, and SettingsWindowScene presents the latest entry in a user-facing alert as shortcuts.bindings: &lt;raw message&gt;. The new path is absent from the base revision. The thrown errors include JSON parse errors, JSONC edit errors, filesystem/POSIX errors, and internal write-conflict errors, so the alert can expose implementation details or raw diagnostics. This violates the rule against forwarding internal errors to end users.

Resolution

Sanitize this failure at the UI boundary. Show a localized, generic message such as “Could not apply the base keymap. Check cmux.json permissions or fix the configuration, then try again.” Do not pass the caught Error or its localizedDescription to the user-facing error log. If diagnostics are needed, send only safe, bounded details to internal logging and exclude paths, payloads, config values, and raw parser or upstream messages.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds 43 user-facing Base Keymap, preview, command, and macOS-conflict localization keys. The new Swift text uses String(localized:defaultValue:), but every added key in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings has entries only for ar, de, en, es, fr, ja, ko, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant. The touched catalog already supports bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk, so all 43 added keys lack entries for those 11 locales.

Resolution

Add translated localizations entries in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings for bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk on every one of the 43 new keys. Preserve all format placeholders, including %@ and %1$@-style placeholders, and do not use copied English or empty values.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The PR introduces a mutable MainActor side channel for a transient UI proposal. ContentView+KeymapPresetCommands.swift writes runtime.keymapProposals.preset, SettingsRuntime owns the shared ShortcutKeymapProposalInbox, and ShortcutKeymapPresetRow later reads and clears it in .onAppear/.onChange before storing a second copy in @State proposedPreset. This splits the UI lifecycle across the command surface, runtime inbox, and settings row. It leaves stale or cross-window proposals representable when presentation or mounting changes, and it duplicates ownership of the proposed preset. The changed apply logic itself has one shared path; the architectural failure is the newly introduced proposal transport.

Resolution

Make the settings presentation coordinator own one value-based transition. Pass ShortcutKeymapPreset as an explicit navigation/request payload to the Keyboard Shortcuts section, or route it through a coordinator action that opens the target and initializes the row from that value snapshot. Let the row or ShortcutListModel own the preview state and apply transition. Remove ShortcutKeymapProposalInbox, its SettingsRuntime property, and the .onAppear/.onChange consume-and-clear path. The first migration cut is to replace the inbox write/read with an openPreferencesWindow request carrying the preset, then verify that failed presentation and multiple settings roots cannot retain or consume a stale proposal.

- The Base Keymap picker now previews the changes (with macOS conflicts
  and, for iTerm2, a note that Cmd-1...9 moves from workspaces to tabs)
  and writes only after Apply Keymap.
- The palette commands open Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts with that
  preview instead of applying and showing a modal alert.
- plan(from:legacyBindings:) treats UserDefaults shortcuts as set by
  hand, reports them as the "before" value, and reveals them again when
  a preset override is removed.
- ShortcutKeymapPlanText becomes ShortcutKeymapPlan.summaryLines.
- Document that preset ownership is inferred from values.

The Settings row stored a plan computed when the preview opened. A
palette-opened preview could be planned before cmux.json bindings had
loaded, and Apply then overwrote bindings set by hand; edits made while
the preview was open were also ignored. The row now stores only the
proposed preset, derives the preview from the current bindings, plans
again on Apply, and waits for the first bindings load
(ShortcutListModel.hasLoadedBindings) before showing or applying.

The display helper is now a private method on ShortcutKeymapPlan.

…ts (#15053)

The changes job's delta_since_green.py fetches main's history with
--filter=tree:0, so most kept merge bases were already present as commits
without trees. fetch_bases() skipped them (have_commit), their diffs
failed, and the roots cost the unknown start: after #15040, 77 of 240
picker candidates were still unknown, e.g. #15003 compared 2 of 15 bases
with nothing fetched. It now checks the tree (have_tree) and fetches with
--refetch, which sends the trees of commits the checkout already has.
Replayed on a depth-2 checkout plus the tree:0 history: 1 of 19 bases
diffable before, 19 of 19 after, in 0.8 s.
