Changing shortcuts
- In Settings → Keyboard, click a shortcut and press the new keys.
Reset restores the default. Muxy refuses keys that are already taken.
- Changes are saved to
settings.toml under [keymap], for example
split_right = "cmd-alt-d".
- Terminal keys such as clear screen, line editing, and scrolling have built-in
bindings. Add your own in Settings → Terminal → Key bindings; they take
precedence while a terminal is focused.
- Commands from Settings → Commands and extensions can have shortcuts too.
- The Quick Terminal shortcut is set in Settings → Quick Terminal.
