Override keybindings for Command Bar navigation, Vim style ctrl+j ctrl+k

[adrianord]

Is there anyway in v1.16b to rebind the keys for moving the selection up and down in the Command Bar (Command+t)? Instead of using the arrow keys I'd like to use ctrl+j and ctrl+k similarly to Arc.

Hi @adrianord! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

It's not currently possible to rebind the Command Bar navigation keys to ctrl+j and ctrl+k in v1.16b. The up/down arrow keys for moving the selection are hardcoded and can't be changed through settings or configuration files. There is ongoing interest and discussion about adding support for Vim-style navigation and more customizable keybindings, but this isn't available yet. Some users use third-party tools like Karabiner on macOS as a workaround, but that's not a native solution and may not work perfectly for the Command Bar specifically. Keep an eye on future releases for updates on this feature.
