add custom keybindings support about gtt HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, I think when you parse the config file you should be able to check for any key conflicts programmatically between user custom keys override and the TUI framework keys? And so notify the user on app startup?

I'm not a go dev, so I dont know the TUI framework you used to build this tool. But for a TUI framework, allowing the user to define its own keybindings for program actions is generally a first class feature.

My current solution for this is like customize theme. User can modify the yaml file, like translation key mapping to A-j if you are not in macOS. But user must be aware of any conflict with TUI framework or your system. How do you think?

Yes that the way to go, inside the config file, having a keys section where the user can map "key to action" as he sees fit.
And adding a section in the readme key mapping is a must have.

(Im not a mac user, but if there are constrains with mac well just add it in the doc to let users know, but dont block the feature because on mac "it's more complicated").

There are many keys that conflicts with the TUI framework. Like C-a begin of line, C-e end of line, etc. And alt is not work on macOS mention in #1 (comment).

Okay cool! Thx again for your work, it's already an amazing tool.

I've implemented in #22, you could checkout custom-key branch.

This is the config file

For key to combine with Ctrl, value can be " " (Space), "\\" or '\' (backslash), "]", "^", "_", "a" to "z" (lower case).

Or the function key, value can be "F1" to "F64"

⚠️ Note, don't use "c", <C-c> is for exit program

From the above, is there any part that may mislead the user?

If it is ok, I'm going to merge it

Done in #22
