Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/202

my config.yml:

keybindings:
  # Key stroke can be used if it only uses two keys:
  # ctrl-q works,
  # ctrl-alt-q doesn't.
  back: "ctrl-q"

  jump_to_album: "a"

  # Shift modifiers use a capital letter (also applies with other modifier keys
  # like ctrl-A)
  jump_to_artist_album: "A"

  manage_devices: "d"
  decrease_volume: "E"
  increase_volume: "I"
  toggle_playback: " "
  seek_backwards: "N"
  seek_forwards: "O"
  next_track: "ctrl-o"
  previous_track: "ctrl-n"
  copy_song_url: "y"
  help: "?"
  shuffle: "S"
  repeat: "r"
  search: "/"
  left: "n"
  down: "e"
  up: "i"
  right: "o"

but n,e,i,o (my layouts hjkl) are not working after saving the config file and restarting.

thanks for creating this by the way, everything else is perfect so far 👍

Thank you 🙏 .

I'm afraid the directional movements are currently reserved (i.e. not user configurable).

This should be fixable though.

In case you're interested you can see which keys are reserved here https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/blob/master/src/user_config.rs#L57

Is there still any intention to make these configurable?

Yes, would be nice to make directional movement configurable but just not worked on it yet.

Contributions welcome!
