Vim keybindings about bacon HOT 9 CLOSED

On second thought, this might sound opinionated or assumptive but I think a majority of people using bacon are familiar(and on love) with vim keybindings

Those users are also used to look for how to setup their familiar bindings in whatever program they use ;)

It must be enabled in preferences.

After building from source:

rm $(bacon --prefs) && vi $(bacon--prefs)

Cool, thank you!

You can do this with

g = "scroll-to-top"
shift-g = "scroll-to-bottom"

in your preferences.

Before seeing this issue, I actually thought bacon did not support vi keybindings as it was not mentioned in the documentation. Is it OK if I submit a PR mentioning this in the docs? Just so that people wouldn't have to look for help somewhere else.

The right way today is to change the keybindings in the prefs.

There's already a section you can just uncomment : https://github.com/Canop/bacon/blob/main/defaults/default-prefs.toml#L51-L54 but I agree it's easy to miss it.

I'm OK for a mention in the docs, probably as a TOML block to copy-paste in the config page ?

@that-ambuj I'm improving the doc: ffccf7e

That looks great! Thanks!

On second thought, this might sound opinionated or assumptive but I think a majority of people using bacon are familiar(and in love) with vim keybindings. When I first used bacon, I assumed it had vim keybindings by default and I was kinda disappointed.

I want to propose that we should enable vim mappings by default. Of course, we should take the community's opinion on this but my wild guess is that it's going to improve the UX for better.

(I'm extremely sorry that I did not check the commit diff and wrote this essay for no reason :C)

Fair Point, I just wanted to present a UX POV on behalf of people like me :)
