Hi! Would it be possible to make file transfer keybindings configurable,
or at least change the defaults?
Two of the current bindings conflict with very common setups:
Ctrl+Space is the default macOS shortcut for switching input sources
(keyboard layouts), so it gets intercepted by the OS before reaching purple.Ctrl+A is the default tmux prefix for most users, so it's swallowed
by tmux when running purple inside a session.
Honestly, I don't see why these need a Ctrl modifier at all — plain
Space and A would work fine inside the file transfer view and avoid
both conflicts.
A config file (e.g. ~/.purple/keys.toml) for remapping would be ideal,
but even just dropping the Ctrl from the defaults would already help.
