SendKey
Since: nightly builds only
Send the specified key press to the current pane. This is useful to rebind the effect of a key combination.
Note that this rebinding effect only applies to the input that is about to be sent to the pane; it doesn't get re-evaluated against the key assignments you've configured in wezterm again.
For example, macOS users often prefer to rebind Option+LeftArrow
and
Option+RightArrow
to match the behavior of Terminal.app, where those key
sequences are remapped to ALT-b
and ALT-f
which generally causes the
the cursor to move backwards or forwards by one word in most common unix
shells and applications.
The following configuration achieves that same effect:
return {
keys = {
-- Rebind OPT-Left, OPT-Right as ALT-b, ALT-f respectively to match Terminal.app behavior
{key="LeftArrow", mods="OPT", action={SendKey={key="b", mods="ALT"}}},
{key="RightArrow", mods="OPT", action={SendKey={key="f", mods="ALT"}}},
}
}
