Alacritty delete line with Cmd Backspace

Time:07-12

Recently switched from Iterm to Alacritty for various reasons. One thing that I'm now realizing I used a lot is command backspace to delete and entire line (Yes I'm aware of CTR U, but that's not muscle memory for me). Is there a way to set up a shortcut for line clear in alacrity?

CodePudding user response:

Adding the line - { key: Back, mods: Command, chars: "\x15" } to the alacritty.yml file will delete the entire line with "Cmd Backspace" on macOS.

Also, here are some additional keybinding changes I've made to my alacritty setup that may make your life easier (per https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/474#issuecomment-338803299):

  - { key: Left,     mods: Alt,     chars: "\x1bb"                       } # Skip word left
  - { key: Right,    mods: Alt,     chars: "\x1bf"                       } # Skip word right
  - { key: Left,     mods: Command, chars: "\x1bOH",   mode: AppCursor   } # Home
  - { key: Right,    mods: Command, chars: "\x1bOF",   mode: AppCursor   } # End
  - { key: Back,     mods: Command, chars: "\x15"                        } # Delete line
  - { key: Back,     mods: Alt,     chars: "\x1b\x7f"                    } # Delete word
