Keybinds

All keybinds are configured under the keybinds key in cyberstrike.json. Every field is optional — only set what you want to change.

cyberstrike.json

{
  "keybinds": {
    "leader": "ctrl+x",
    "session_new": "<leader>n",
    "input_submit": "return"
  }
}

Leader key

Many keybinds use <leader> as a prefix. The leader key defaults to ctrl+x.

{ "keybinds": { "leader": "ctrl+x" } }

Reference the leader key in other binds with <leader>:

{ "keybinds": { "session_new": "<leader>n" } }

Disabling a keybind

Set any keybind to "none" to disable it:

{ "keybinds": { "session_share": "none" } }

Multiple bindings

Separate multiple key combinations with a comma. Any of them will trigger the action:

{ "keybinds": { "messages_page_up": "pageup,ctrl+alt+b" } }
