Describe the feature

When using a comprehensive custom keymap.json ideally the default key bindings would no longer apply by default.

So far the only workaround I can find is about 200 "keybind" : "zed::NoAction" which isn't ideal.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Hey @cholwell, you can set the "base_keymap" setting to None in your settings.json file, which completely disables all default key bindings. Does this work for you?

@JosephTLyons ah perfect, thanks for the quick response! I wonder if it might be useful adding a quick line about this somewhere on https://zed.dev/docs/key-bindings ?

[JosephTLyons]

Yep - I'll add it!
