Changing shortcuts
- In Settings → Keyboard, click a shortcut and press the new keys.
Reset restores the default. Nana refuses keys that are already taken.
- Changes are saved to
settings.toml under [keymap], for example
split_right = "ctrl-alt-d".
- Terminal keys such as copy, paste, and scrolling have built-in bindings. Add
your own in Settings → Terminal → Key bindings; they take precedence while
a terminal is focused.
- Commands from Settings → Commands and kibbles can have shortcuts too.
