Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/947

As a non-qwerty user, it's rather crippling not being able to remap the basic movement keys. I can't see a valid reason why reserved keys exist.

To be more specific, what I would like to remap are:

Move selection left
Move selection down
Move selection up
Move selection right
Move selection to top of list
Move selection to middle of list
Move selection to bottom of list
Enter active mode
Start playback or enter album/artist/playlist

Note that for the last two options, there's an optional keybinding with the key submit, but it appears to not be used (or at least it doesn't work as I'm expecting it to).

For an application that runs in the terminal, I would expect to be able to remap all keys as I see fit.

Seems this can be achieved by modifying the file user_config.rs adding the options move_selection_left and the others to the structs KeyBindings, KeyBindingsString and UserConfig
