How to disable keybinding?

[azzamsa]

Hi, 👋

I know how to replace/override a key. But how to remove it completely?

• To replace/override.

prepend_keymap = [
    { on = ["n"], exec = "arrow -1", desc = "Move cursor up" },
    { on = ["e"], exec = "arrow 1", desc = "Move cursor down" },
]

• How to disable it?

prepend_keymap = [
    { on = ["<S-Up>"], exec = "false(?)", desc = "Move cursor up 5 lines" },
    { on = ["<S-Down>"], exec = "false(?)", desc = "Move cursor down 5 lines" },
]

Thank you for Yazi! 🍦

You can bind any commands that do not exist to them, and Yazi will silently ignore them, like:

prepend_keymap = [
    { on = ["<S-Up>"], exec = "whatever", desc = "Move cursor up 5 lines" },
    { on = ["<S-Down>"], exec = "youwant", desc = "Move cursor down 5 lines" },
]

So, Yazi doesn't check whether the "internal" command exists? What about the typos?
Do you plan to have a better approach to this in the future?

[sxyazi]

Yeah if it's a typo, just ignore it

The better approach might be to add a real-existing "noop" command that doesn't do anything, but I don't think it's necessary

btw you can also completely redefine your keys through ‘keymap’

Got it.
Thank you so much for Yazi! 🍨
