Redesign hotkeys

[yorukot]

Basically, the hotkey of superfile is just to put whatever I think of, which is different from the habits of most users.

The redesign hopes to be based on the usage habits of most file managers/nvim.

This new design is expected to be added in the next version

If you have your own hotkeys design, please share below!

is it possible to combine actions in to one? like using a for both create new file and folder, when name is ending with / means a new folder, otherwise just whatever file-type entered.

I like this idea about typing / to create folder!

After thinking about it, I found that if I want to use nvim, it must be "completely" based on nvim, otherwise there will be conflicts. But if I don't want to be completely based on nvim, I have to design new logic myself.

Here is my design logic
My current design logic is to use ctrl+{key} for file operations. When you don’t press ctrl, pressing any key will not lead to your file or folder.
And about the delete hotkey I decided to add a confirmation window to it when the user deletes the file.
The rest are mostly chosen based on the prefixes of the words.

Of course, if you have any ideas before the new version release, feel free to suggest them!

Temporarily closed. Of course, if you have better suggestions, you are welcome to open it again.
