Keybinds

The keybinds configuration has a list of bindings that you can use to bind commands to key combinations.

Bindings

A key modifier is a key that is pressed in combination with another key to perform a specific action. The bindings property is a list of keybinds that map a command to a key combination.

Key modifiers can be any of the following:

• Ctrl
• Control
• LCtrl
• LControl
• RCtrl
• RControl
• Shift
• LShift
• RShift
• Alt
• LAlt
• RAlt
• Win
• LWin
• RWin

The associated key for each modifier can be any of the VIRTUAL_KEYs.

Commands

A command is a string that represents a command that can be executed by Whim. The command can be a built-in command, a plugin command, or a custom command. For more, see the Commands page.

Unify Key Modifiers

To treat key modifiers like LWin and RWin the same, set unify_key_modifiers to true.
