^J cannot be bound: cmus: Error: invalid key '^J'

[philc]

When running this command:

bind -f common ^J win-mv-before

I get the error message: Error: invalid key '^J'

I can bind ^K successfully, but not ^J. ^J should be bindable.

This is version 2.7.1 on OSX, installed via homebrew.

^j also has this problem.

Thanks for reporting! Does 3780adf fix the problem?

Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish ^I/\t and ^J/\n. Because of this, ^I and ^J are unbindable.

Thanks for investigating; that's tricky. If there's no workaround, it would
be helpful if the cmus error msg told the user this is why ^j is unbindable.
