Chain keys

[zeltak]

Hi

I would really really love an option to "chain keybinds" that is similar to vim/emacs/screen/tmux etc have to option to assign chained keybinds IE: ctrl+a> e , ctrl+a> x etc. here are some floss file managers/apss that do such a thing:

Although this request is still being considered, just wanted to let you know that with the new socket commands, it's now possible to write a custom event handler for keypresses that implements this. You would need to add a handler for evt_win_key which watches for the lead key, remembers the state (probably in a temp file), then responds to subsequent keypresses based on the lead key state, perhaps emitting a keypress. You could add your handler in Events|Window|Key or via replace-event. For full docs see socket commands.
