viewconfig --but-only-things-i've-changed

Hello!

• I think it would be very useful to have a way to list the active bindings.
  This list should have a flag telling if the binding is custom or factory, and ideally if it is a custom rebind of a factory one.
  The function should accept a parameter to filter on one key, so that users can easily know if the binding they are about to create will overwrite another one… It should prevent some confusions…
• Some sort of “reset ALL bindings to factory defaults” panic function should probably be a good idea, too…

Re point 2: it's probably possible to unbind the command line from :, so we should probably make sure a reset button is available on the extension settings page, once that arrives.

The documentation (via :help) says at the top: "The default keybinds can be found here." But after following the linked word "here" to moz-extension://07b39b24-4362-4cd6-81c2-d5e22bad00e5/static/docs/modules/_parsers_normalmode_.html#defaultnmaps I don't see anything about keybindings. Perhaps that line should be commented out until this issue is resolved.

Oh, wow. I thought I had fixed that.

Keybinds are viewable in config.ts and its help file.

Thanks! It looks like someone has started to make some narrative documentation here, as well: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/blob/master/doc/amo.md

This is mostly done, now:

viewconfig nmaps

This list should have a flag telling if the binding is custom or factory, and ideally if it is a custom rebind of a factory one.

viewconfig without nmaps shows you only user-bindings under nmaps because of a ~~~bug~~~ feature.

The function should accept a parameter to filter on one key, so that users can easily know if the binding they are about to create will overwrite another one… It should prevent some confusions…

viewconfig has a search box, is that good enough?

unset nmaps. If you manage to unbind :, you can still do this by going to the new tab page, opening the web console with <C-S-k> and typing tri.excmds.unset("nmaps")... but we should probably include a button as part of #502.

I'll leave this open for the viewconfig --but-only-things-i've-changed option.

There has been a reset button in Tridactyl for a while - :help nmaps<CR>G, click the button. Also accessible from about:addons if you click on "Preferences" (if you use Linux) or "Options" (if you use Windows) under Tridactyl and scroll to the bottom of the page.

In case anyone else ends up here and wonders what happened to viewconfig --but-only-things-i've-changed, it ended up being implemented as viewconfig --user.
