Editing keymaps suck

[sguergachi-tdy]

I'm trying to set a new keymap for an action, and the amount of gymnastics I have to go through to unbind a uselsess keybind for an action I don't care about is wild. I try to delete it, it creates a "no action" item, that no action item still causes a conflict.

I try to delete that "null" it brings back the one I deleted

I try deleting the one I deleted twice, now there's a dup with a weird error, I don't even understand what's going on here.

I just want to set my keybinds and override the existing ones, I don't care about like 80% of the keybinds zed sets by default.

Yes, I think this part of the UI is counter intuitive. To achieve what you want to do, first delete those two <null> actions that zed created for you. And then just normally add the keymap you want and bind it to ctrl-shift-b. First time you click save, that warning of conflict will appear but the second time you click save it will actually save the bindings.

Oh wow! Double clicking save! Very unintuitive, that button should change from "Save" to "Override" or something. But thanks, that ended up working 👍

You can copy & paste the defaults to your user config and then set the base keymap to None. This will remove the duplicates in the GUI and make editing easier

I deleted tab switcher:toggle because 2 commands were overlaping. It deleted both, and I'm stuck now, can't undelete.
