Thanks for giving pter a spin! I hope it can improve your life 😁

Raising issues here is perfectly fine; I don’t want to force people to create accounts everywhere just to report problems or ask questions.

Regarding the parsing error -- now that I read the line, it makes a lot of sense that pter doesn’t like it. I’ll fix the example.conf.

Thanks a lot for bringing it up!

It already has, thank you!

I tried specifying <:> = jump-to and it seems to work fine.

Actually, I've just enabled debug logging and, say, with <:> = nop line in the pter.conf pter complains about an invalid shortcut:
[WARNING] Cannot bind < to '> = nop': no such function.

Is there a way to unset the : shortcut? What would be the proper syntax in pter.conf? I tried various escape patterns (\:, \\:, ::, ":", ':'), but to no avail.

That sounds like a bug to me. I’ll investigate!

Yeah, that was a "feature" of the configuration file format. There are fixes in 3.15.0.

Just so you don’t have to rummage through the documentation: :, =, and ; are special in the configuration file format. To use them they have to be escaped somehow. I introduced <colon>, <equal>, and <semicolon> so these keys can be used in shortcuts now.

Let me know if there’s more stuff wrong with it!
