![]() Closes #ISSUE An idea I and @MrSubidubi came up with, to improve UX around the keystroke input. Currently, there's a hard tradeoff with what to focus first in the edit keybind modal, if we focus the keystroke input, it makes keybind modification very easy, however, if you don't want to edit a keybind, you must use the mouse to escape the keystroke input before editing something else - breaking keyboard navigation. The idea in this PR is to have a dual-phased focus system for the keystroke input. There is an outer focus that has some sort of visual indicator to communicate it is focused (currently a border). While the outer focus region is focused, keystrokes are not intercepted. Then there is a keybind (currently hardcoded to `enter`) to enter the inner focus where keystrokes are intercepted, and which must be exited using the mouse. When the inner focus region is focused, there is a visual indicator for the fact it is "recording" (currently a hacked together red pulsing recording icon) <details><summary>Video</summary> https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/490538d0-f092-4df1-a53a-a47d7efe157b </details> Release Notes: - N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ... |

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about
to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
