Override default key bindings, not add to them

[nzeh]

I'm really liking sioyek. What I'm trying to do now is to add completely custom keybindings that override the default ones. It seems to me that the bindings in keys_user only add to the existing ones. Is there a way to replace existing ones?

I have a partial answer, but it's not good enough for what I'm trying to do: If I want to rebind key to a new command, all I have to do is add a line

to my config. Here is where it gets weird: In the default config 'v' stands for visual select. I am trying to make this a prefix to mean "View something". Like "View portal window", "View preview", ... I want to have bindings like 'vp', 'v', ... for them, in the same spirit as 'gg', ... If I just add bindings for 'vp', ..., then they never get executed because the moment I press 'v', it gets interpreted as "enter visual select mode", not as a prefix. I tried to first unbind 'v' using 'noop v'. This works to no longer trigger select mode, but it still doesn't allow me to use 'v' as a prefix key. I guess it is now explicitly bound to 'noop', which does nothing.

Is there currently a way to achieve what I want? If not, can a future version include some mechanism to delete existing bindings? This would be awesome.

I think this is already fixed in the development branch.

Ah ok. Thanks. I'll have to install that one then. Any prediction when this will become stable?

Unfortunately no.

That's fine. Thanks for sharing sioyek with the world.
