How to remove a default keybinding?

[mattiaz9]

I have an Italian keyboard and to insert the string interpolation character (`) I have to type alt+\ which is currently assigned to copilot suggestion.

I tried to add a custom keybinding for the copilot autosuggestion, but the default one is still active.

So how can I remove the default keybinding?

I brought this up with the team today - we'll add a way to remove a binding. I'll update the #772 when I know more.

Hi @JosephTLyons, same problem here.
I have a custom french iso keyboard layout, in order to type { i need to do alt-[ but nothing happens when I do this.
it is then impossible to code on Zed...

Do things like

[
    {
        "context": "Editor",
        "bindings": {
            "alt-v": null,
        }
    }
]

work for you?

If yes, we would appreciate a PR into the docs here: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/src/configuring_zed__key_bindings.md

I added

"alt-[": null,
"alt-]": null,

to the Editor context.
This totally fixed the problem, thanks !
What do you need in the PR ? A new paragraph to say that we can allow custom keyboard layout using null as a value ?

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Exactly!
The main part would be to put it so that it is visible for the others who's looking for such feature, and this is where users are much better than developers.

Thank you in advance!

The PR is live #7310 !

@SomeoneToIgnore The solution does not work for me and I can not remove the go_to_line::Toggle command.

{
    "context": "Editor && mode == full",
    "bindings": {
      "ctrl-g": null
    }
}

thanks to this issue I realised I need

  {
    "context": "Editor && mode == full",
    "bindings": {
      "cmd->": null,
      "cmd-<": null
    }
  }

to allow window switching on MacOS, so now I'm able to switch between windows by keyboard again.

Maybe someone else needs this hint. :)

I want to disable the minimize shortcut on my sytem. I am on macOs, disabled the global shortcut for minimizing an app using the shortcut "cmd-m", tested on other applications and it's working as intended. Now Zed has it's own shortcut for minimizing the app, I tried disabling it like this, as I understand the context "Workspace" should be the parent of every context. But it does not work. The shortcut I think is correctly disabled because when I open the command palette it does not have the shortcut anymore, it's empty. Am I missing something? I tried adding "cmd-j" and it disabled just fine.

	{
		"context": "Workspace",
		"bindings": {
			"cmd-m": null,
		}
	}
