alacritty: Cannot use ctrl + / in alacritty
Cannot use ctrl + / in alacrity. Is there any way to enable it? I use ctrl+/ to comment/uncomment out the code in Vim.
in my vimrc, I set the following value to toggle comment which mapped to ctrl + /:
nmap <C-_> <Plug>NERDCommenterToggle
vmap <C-_> <Plug>NERDCommenterToggle<CR>gv
Could I set the keymapping on the alacritty setting file to match it?

nvm, I forgot that macOS doesn’t have
showkey
. I’ve tested macOS and it seems like we’re not gettingReceivedCharacter
events, when pressingCtrl + /
. You can add this binding yourself for now.it was likely a duplicate of #1359
Correct. This is usually how you get a shell to print the raw character it receives. So <kbd>esc</kbd> would for example receive
^[
, since that’s the control character for escape which is used in all escape sequences.So <kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>/</kbd> should show
^_
, since that’s the default raw value for that key.Does that work for you with the <kbd>esc</kbd> key? Also which shell are you using?
