Configuring key bindings

Configuration

The default keymap is commented out at the bottom of the default config.yml file that tiny creates.

Here is a minimal version:

key_map:
  ctrl_a:     input_move_curs_start
  ctrl_e:     input_move_curs_end

Each entry in the map is made up of a Key (single or combination) and a KeyAction.

Advanced Mappings

If you are using a non-US keyboard, such as AZERTY, you may rebind the tab control keys as follows:

keymap:
  alt_&: 
     tab_goto: 1
  alt_": 
     tab_goto: 3
  alt_': 
     tab_goto: 4
  alt_(: 
     tab_goto: 5
  alt_-: 
     tab_goto: 6
  alt_è: 
     tab_goto: 7
  alt__: 
     tab_goto: 8
  alt_ç: 
     tab_goto: 9
  alt_à: 
     tab_goto: 0

You can also rebind characters to other characters with the following:

keymap:
  q: 
     input: p

This will map the q key to p, so when you hit q it will input a p in the text field.
