Zellij key bindings

Zellij follows a similar habit to nano, in that info bars along the bottom display available key bindings. I’m just listing them here to help reinforce the learning.

C-g is the one I’ll care about most of the time, toggling lock mode so a regular editor keybind doesn’t trigger weirdness from Zellij.

Binding Description
M-n open new pane
M-<arrow>, M-<hjkl> navigate between panes
M-+ increase pane size
M-- decrease pane size
C-g enter lock mode
C-p pane mode
C-t tab mode
C-n resize mode
C-h move mode
C-s search mode
C-o session
C-q Quit

Zellij session key bindings
