Setting ctrl-g for abort impossible

[TLINDEN]

I tried to configure C-g as the abort key instead of q because I am used to it.

This is the setting:

[bindings]
root.quit = ["ctrl+g", "<esc>"]

However, when I start gitu with this setting, abortion of anything including gitu itself is impossible. It seems to regard the binding as q doesn't work anymore, but it doesn't respond to C-g either.

Would be really nice if that could work.

While we're at it: maybe you consider adding C-c as some kind of fallback binding as well?

@TLINDEN I think there's multiple things going wrong here 😅

There are some things you could fix/workaround:

• The syntax should be root.quit = ["<ctrl+c>", "<ctrl+g>", "<esc>"]
• You may want to add these to each individual menu

  rebase_menu.quit = ["<ctrl+c>", "<ctrl+g>", "<esc>"]
  reset_menu.quit = ["<ctrl+c>", "<ctrl+g>", "<esc>"]
  ...
  

I think there are improvements to be made to Gitu regarding:

• Config parsing shouldn't fail silently. Config parsing shouldn't fail silently. #256
• Better quit configuration Better quit configuration #257
• <ctrl+c> should quit the application right away, regardless of the current Submenu. <ctrl+c> to exit the application #258

• The syntax should be root.quit = ["<ctrl+c>", "<ctrl+g>", "<esc>"]

Ah, this works like a charm, very nice :)

👍 I'll close this. The other issues will address the usability!
