Describe the question

Hi!
I have read that pressing f is supposed to allow the user to filter files displayed.

I press f to filter, but yazi does rename (shows rename text entry).

I have not changed f in my keymap.toml.

Why is this? Do I need to manually bind f to filter to get it to work?
(how would that binding look)

Thanks! /marcus

Anything else?

Nevermind, I found the issue - it was a binding mistake in keymap.toml... :-D

I fooled around with:

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on = "f2"
run = "rename"
desc = "Rename file or directory"

f2 is apparently not a key... ;-) Will try <f2>

Closing this. /idiot behind the wheel
