[request] key rebinding

[aeosynth]

Mouse buttons can be rebound with --something-button, so why not keys? Although, I'd change the syntax to something like --bind <action> <key> .

[derf]

Hmm. IMHO, the default keys ([←] and [→] to change images, Return for actions etc.) are okay and quite usable, but I guess making it customisable won't hurt. I'll probably start working on that soonish.

[legrostdg]

Yes, that would be great! Especially for people (like me) who use a dvorak layout... It could be great to be able to include these bindings in the configuration file.

[derf]

Yeah, there will definitely be a config file for that. And I'm actually using a non-qwerty layout myself, so... well, I guess the only problem left is to take the time/motivation to actually come up with something; right now all I can say is it will be done Real Soon Now[tm].

[legrostdg]

OK, thanks :-)

Want to put in my vote for this feature too. I use a happy hacker keyboard (just the primary part of a keyboard, no numeric pad) and to effectively use feh I've had to toss a spare keyboard off to the side so I can use the numeric pad for zoom stuff.
Go feh for handling super large images quickly!

I love feh on my desktop, but on my notebook it's a bit of a pain 'cause of the lack of dedicated numpad like dayne pointed out above, so this would be really handy there.

[derf]

Implemented in 699a470, feh now reads ~/.config/feh/keys for keybindings, the format is .

Example: next_img l Right C-n

Documentation will follow.

It's so far mostly untested and bad code, but that will be fixed later on. Leaving the issue open for now. 1.11 coming soon.

Keep up the good work derf!

Okay, it's looking stable, 1.11 will be released this weekend. Closing issue.
