Excerpt

Keyboard Shortcuts

Complete shortcut listings and context reference for all sidecar plugins. For implementation patterns, see docs/guides/deprecated/ui-feature-guide.md. For a detailed assessment of inconsistencies, vim alignment, mnemonic quality, and improvement proposals, see references/assessment.md in this skill directory.

Architecture

Centralized binding registry: internal/keymap/bindings.go is the single source of truth for key bindings.
Context-based dispatch: Each plugin defines contexts; bindings are scoped to contexts.
Command palette (?): Auto-discovers bindings for discoverability.
User overrides: Supported via ~/.config/sidecar/config.json.
Key sequences: Compound commands like g g are supported with 500ms timeout.
