Keymap for Terminal History Navigation

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

How can I use Ctrl+P to navigate to the previous command in terminal history and Ctrl+N to move to the next command in Zed's terminal?

In a regular terminal, these are standard GNU readline features, and I would like to enable similar behavior while inside the terminal. Other keybindings, such as Ctrl+A for moving to the beginning of the line, Ctrl+E for the end of the line, and Alt+F and Alt+B for word navigation, are functioning correctly. However, Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P are not behaving as expected—instead, they trigger a different action. How can I make them work for terminal history navigation like they do in standard GNU terminals?

Environment

Fedora Linux 40 (KDE Plasma) x86_64

Hi @ogabrielinacio,

This would be solved by:

• https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/17016/files

In testing this change, I discovered that in the Zed terminal on Linux ctrl-p would trigger XON/XOFF behavior, which is very much undesirable. I'm sure it is possible to disable XON/XOFF by default, but I am not super familiar with the Alacritty codebase.

Would appreciate assistance from anyone more knowledgable in this area.

@notpeter It worked!!
Thank you!!
I just put this code in my keymap config
"context": "Workspace", "bindings": { "ctrl-p": null, "ctrl-n": null }
