Customize

Create ~/.autoc/agent/keybindings.json:

{
  "tui.editor.cursorUp": ["up", "ctrl+p"],
  "tui.editor.deleteWordBackward": ["ctrl+w", "alt+backspace"]
}

Legacy non-namespaced ids (e.g. cursorUp) migrate on startup. On native Windows, app.suspend has no default binding.

Emacs-style example

{
  "tui.editor.cursorUp": ["up", "ctrl+p"],
  "tui.editor.cursorDown": ["down", "ctrl+n"],
  "tui.editor.cursorLeft": ["left", "ctrl+b"],
  "tui.editor.cursorRight": ["right", "ctrl+f"]
}

Vim-style example

{
  "tui.editor.cursorUp": ["up", "alt+k"],
  "tui.editor.cursorDown": ["down", "alt+j"],
  "tui.editor.cursorLeft": ["left", "alt+h"],
  "tui.editor.cursorRight": ["right", "alt+l"]
}
