I found the default keybinds were conflicting with micro and other editors so here is my config if you want it. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/HarveyDevel/72c50b235e41be83c9923e6928360587/raw/a3f50ed80350401a755aef863c1be6193b6ebb5d/config.kdl You'll need to save that as config.kdl to ~/.config/zellij/ (I don't think the directory exists by default).
I basically changed everything to use an alt modifier instead of ctrl and make zellij use compact mode by default. Zellij also creates a new session every time it starts by default, I hate this so I made it so it won't keep doing that resulting in stale sessions sitting in the background.
Useful modified keybinds:
alt+s to enter / exit scroll mode.alt+p (release the keys) press n for a new pane.
-alt+left or right arrow to switch between panes.
This next section is great when you are running something and need to switch computers. You can detach an active session, shell in and re-attach.
alt+o (release keys) press d to detach the current zellij session, if this is the only session it'll exit the terminal.
zellij ls to list sessions availablezellij attach session-name to attach the session you detached. Sadly this results in a nested UI if you are already in a zellij session, I don't have a solution for this yet.- Once done with that session
exit
You can add this to your alacritty.toml if you want zellij to always start when you launch alacritty.
[terminal.shell]
program = "zellij"
