basalt/v0.8.0

0.8.0 (2025-06-25)

This release adds user configuration support for key bindings allowing users to change them according to the users preference.

Configuration

Basalt keybindings can be changed or additional keybindings can be added by providing a configuration file. Directly under $HOME/.basalt.toml or .config/basalt/config.toml.

Each keybinding is attached to a 'pane' and can be used when the pane is active. Global section affects all panes and is evaluated first.

The configuration used for default key bindings:

[global]
key_bindings = [
 { key = "q", command = "quit" },
 { key = "ctrl+g", command = "vault_selector_modal_toggle" },
 { key = "?", command = "help_modal_toggle" },
]

[splash]
key_bindings = [
 { key = "k", command = "splash_up" },
 { key = "j", command = "splash_down" },
 { key = "up", command = "splash_up" },

 { key = "enter", command = "splash_open" },
