Add a [C]ompose in the main keybyinds showed list

[moshpirit]

How to edit this status shortcuts? I would like to add a [C]ompose because for me is very unintuitive the word, it's more familiar "post" or "public a new message"

In my config file:

[input.main-compose]
# Compose a new toot

# default=["c", "C"]
hint="[C]ompose"
keys=["c","C", "p"]

[input.status-compose]
hint="[C]ompose"
keys=["c","C","p"]

Hi @moshpirit ,

The area that you are showing in the screenshot is the status area, which shows the contents of a post.

As far as I know, you cannot run the action compose on a post, which kind of makes sense if you think about it - unless you want to make a reply to or edit the post you are currently viewing (for which there are already the shortcuts R and E), why would you want to compose something?

I believe this is why your input.status-compose shortcut does not appear in the list of shortcuts under the post - there is no compose action in the status context.

What you can do instead is use the Leader key functionality, which lets you define a prefix key that can be used for your own custom shortcuts anywhere in the application. Here is an example that use the , (comma) key and p key to compose a new post:

[general]
leader-key=","

[[general.leader-actions]]
type="compose"
shortcut="p"

If you press , (comma) and then p, it will run the compose command for you.

This feature is very nice since it gives you the entire keyboard to create your own shortcuts by using a prefix key that is not mapped by default, such as ,.

Hi, @kchr! Thanks your replying!

Currently, if I press c, C or p, I can create a new post, the issue is that I want tut to show me that possibility because I tend to forget the keybind.

I don't mind that it is in the menu of a post, since it's what appears when I open tut: home timeline with the newest toot opened.
