Question

Issue Description

I want to use C-j and C-k to move up and down in the selection and file preview in minipick. I’ve tried configuring it but haven’t been successful. Is there a way to bind these keys for this functionality?

What I’ve Tried

• Modified key mappings in the config, but it didn’t work.
• Searched the documentation and issues, but couldn’t find a solution.

Expected Behavior

• C-j should move the selection down.
• C-k should move the selection up.

Thanks for your help!

In mini.pick, there are already default mappings for moving the selection up and down. You can use:

• <C-n> to move the selection down
• <C-p> to move the selection up

Similarly, to scroll the preview window, you can use:

• <C-b> to scroll up
• <C-f> to scroll down

If you want to remap <C-j> and <C-k> for selection movement, you can configure mini.pick like this:

require("mini.pick").setup({
  mappings = {
    -- Move selection up and down
    move_down  = '<C-j>',
    move_up    = '<C-k>',

    -- Scroll in the preview window
    scroll_down  = '<C-f>',
    scroll_up    = '<C-b>',
    scroll_left  = '<C-h>',
    scroll_right = '<C-l>',
  },
})

Yep, that's the appropriate approach. I'd also like to add links to the help where this could be found: config structure and "move" action details.
