A sort-able, tabular format might be simpler and more intuitive. it is a list of your bindings. each line is an entry/binding. no - it doesnt list the thing its bound to in the list next to it, but i think you have a special problem yourself of not remembering :) you can dump the e config into text: eet -d ~/.e/econfig/standard/e.cfg config out.txt trawl through out.txt. > For instance, adding a new key would add a new table row of two fields, > HotKey and Action, with the left 'HotKey' field selected, and the modal > 'Enter HotKey' dialog open.
