Creating Keybindings
Customize Bike's keybindings through the Keybindings settings panel.
Settings Panel
Open Settings > Keybindings to view all commands and their current keybindings. Select a command and press Return (or double-click the keybinding cell) to edit it. Press Delete to clear a custom keybinding. User-customized bindings are underlined.
Use the mode picker at the top to switch between Text Mode and Block Mode. Each mode has its own set of keybindings. Text mode is active when the selection is a caret or text range. Block mode is active when entire rows are selected. The same command can have different keybindings in each mode.
Sort by the Keybinding column to see the order keybindings are processed in. When multiple commands share the same key sequence, the one with the lowest process order takes priority.
Key Sequence Format
A key sequence is one or more keys separated by spaces. Each key is a combination of modifiers and a key name joined by hyphens. The format is case-insensitive.
Modifiers:
Command
cmd

Any single typed character (a–z, 0–9, punctuation) is also a valid key.
