[Indyandie]

Include all configuration options in .amethyst.sample.yml.

• Configuration Keys
• Command Keys
• Shortcuts (Not sure if this is supported at the moment.)

Apologies @ianyh! 😅 I should've checked before submitting a new ticket. Does the config file support shortcuts?

[ianyh]

No worries! Yes, it should. There was a bug in 0.16.0 that broke them, but it should be fixed in 0.16.1.

[Indyandie]

Is this the correct format for shortcuts?

# switch to the two-pane layout
two-pane:
  mod: mod1
  key: s

@Indyandie I was trying to discover it too and I found this example in Amethyst/default.amethyst file:

"select-wide-layout": {
    "mod": "mod1",
    "key": "s"
}

So you can do the same in YAML file for Two Pane layout with:

select-two-pane-layout:
    mod: mod1
    key: s

@jabkoo Thank so much! I'll give this a try as soon as I get a chance.

[Indyandie]

@jabkoo that's the right format!

But for some reason I couldn't set two pane to select using the s key. What is more puzzling, is that s key works with the tall layout but t key didn't. 😵

I ended up using number keys to select the layouts that I wanted.

select-two-pane-layout:
  mod: mod1
  key: "2"

select-fullscreen-layout:
  mod: mod1
  key: "7"

select-tall-layout:
  mod: mod1
  key: "8"
``

mod1+s appears to be the default command for select-wide-layout. That is probably colliding with it. The config file parsing should probably be changed to override it, though.

[Indyandie]

That also explains why mod1+t didn't work either since the default is toggle float.

[ianyh]

Could you actually open a new issue to track that?
