How to change the binding for Option+e ?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm using Amethyst on Mac and there's one keyboard shortcut for Option+e that I'd like to remove, as it is a standard shortcut for my locale language writing.

I've tried setting this in ~/.amethyst in the following way:

{
  "focus-screen-2": {
        "mod": "mod1",
        "key": "0"
    },
"throw-screen-2": {
        "mod": "mod2",
        "key": "9"
    }
}

I've taken those from the sources:

• https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/blob/development/Amethyst/default.amethyst#L53
• https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/blob/development/Amethyst/default.amethyst#L69C5-L72C7

The changes were reflected in Amethyst UI, but it did not free the use of option+e.

Then I removed the file ~/.amethyst and changed that in Amethyst UI - in Preferences. That change also brought nothing.

So the question is - how should I correctly reclaim this shortcut from Amethyst and give control to the OS?

The keybindings get recorded in the plist system. Checkout .amethyst.sample.yml in the top level of the tree for pointers. If I delete the config, then edit defaults, then launch Amethyst it appears to behave as you expect.
