add new key binding (like ctrl-p and ctrl-n) to select adjacent search items about vitepress HOT 7 OPEN

I am also on mac and I have adopted ctrl-p and ctrl-n for previous/next when selecting from a list. This pattern of shortcuts originates from unix shells (common for navigating bash/zsh history) and is also one of the set of emacs-originated shortcuts which are built in to macos system text fields (for example, the safari location bar supports ctrl-a, ctrl-e for moving the cursor to the beginning and end of the field, and ctrl-p/ctrl-n for selecting from the autocomplete options which can be presented from the location bar.

These shortcuts work similarly in chrome, and are also adopted by many other apps' search fields like Discord and Alfred as well as web apps like Github.

On macOS these do not conflict with print/new like they do on windows; I do not know whether it is more common to override them or just let them not affect windows; I suspect the latter, especially for web apps. Anyhow, I think implementing this behavior equivalent to how it works in Github's search field would be a great addition, and will particularly impress folks who live in the terminal.

Why do you want to select search results? 👀 Do you want to avoid doing arrow down/up + return?

Moreover ctrl/cmd + p is for printing and ctrl/cmd + n is for new window. It would conflict with those.

I often use the search function.

First, press Ctrl-k to open the search box
then enter the search text, and then use the up or down keys to select a matching entry.
Finally, press Enter to view the full article.

However, up or down are quite far away. I hope I can use Ctrl-n or Ctrl-p instead.

Oh, sorry, I am using a Mac keyboard. I forgot that Ctrl n and Ctrl p are browser shortcuts.

That seems not a good suggestion.

? They are literally reachable without stretching hand!

Can we just do this key mapping for Mac, I found that Next.js documentation can use shortcuts like Ctrl-n

Moving the little finger to up or down will make the right hand leave its original position, I think it's uncomfortable 😂
