Support keybindings with Enter

[nilscox]

Hello,

I am trying to add a keybinding to alt+enter, but I get an error when launching zellij:

Deserialization error: keybinds: data did not match any variant of untagged enum KeyActionUnbind at line 9 column 11

Here is the config I use:

keybinds:
    unbind: true
    normal:
        # ...
        - action: [ToggleFocusFullscreen,]
          key: [Alt: Enter]

As far as I understand, the "Enter" keyword isn't supported. Is there a way to bind a command to alt+enter?

zellij --version: zellij 0.30.0
alacritty --version: alacritty 0.10.1 ()

Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out! Have you tried using:

Alt: "\n"

?

Sadly the handling of keybindings is still somewhat limited for us,
here you can find an overview of supported keys: https://zellij.dev/documentation/keybindings-keys.html .

Edit: I just checked and we don't seem to support this configuration.

Indeed, using Alt: "\n" does not work, it's like the keybinding was not defined (but zellij starts without error).

I'll be using another keybinding for now, no worries. Do you plan to support this use case, or is it a limitation that may never have a solution?

Do you plan to support this use case

Yes, if it is feasible to do so. In this case, I think it should be.

or is it a limitation that may never have a solution?

I hope we get there in the near future, but that is not certain. It is definitely an issue that we wish to alleviate together with all the other keybindings that we do not support. For me personally, I want Ctrl: " " to be a thing.

I will close this for now, because there are quite a few keybinding issues open.
