Keybinds are still missing for nushell.

I don't use or know nu and nushell enough to tackle this myself confidently, feel free to contribute

@idanarye sorry for the random ping but you're the only one I know who might be able to tackle this, feel free to ignore me if you don't want to

Hi, I could help too, if needed. I'm new to skim, but Nushell has been my main shell for a long time, and I've also contributed to it. I'm on holiday right now but I could take a look at this issue when I get back

That would be awesome, thank you ! The existing bindings for other shells and/or fzf's (official or not) should be a pretty good starting point

I don't think my experience in developing nu_plugin_skim is that relevant to crafting Nu key bindings, but since I've been summoned here I suggest that whoever works on these key bindings should use
^skrather thanskso that if my plugin is installed it won't be used.Unless, of course, they develop their bindings to run against my plugin.
In that regard - instead of helping I've created extra work, because a proper binding may want to detect if my plugin is installed and use it to process Nu values instead of simple lines of text.
