Key bindings

Press ? inside strata to see every key, including those added by plugins.

Presets

strata ships two layouts. Choose one with keymap under [general]:

vim (default) — h j k l, sequences like g g, y y and d d.
default — superfile-style: ctrl+c copy, ctrl+x cut, ctrl+v paste, ctrl+d delete, ctrl+n create, ctrl+r rename, ctrl+z undo, o sort menu and no multi-key sequences.

Action	vim	default
Copy / cut / paste	`y y` `x` `p`	`ctrl+c` `ctrl+x` `ctrl+v`
Trash / delete	`d d` / `D`	`ctrl+d` / `D`
Rename / bulk rename	`r` / `R`	`ctrl+r` / `alt+r`
New file / directory	`a` / `A`	`ctrl+n` (end the name with `/` for a directory)
Undo / redo	`u` / `ctrl+r`	`ctrl+z` / `ctrl+y`
Sort menu	`s`	`o`
Fuzzy find	`f`	`ctrl+f`
Toggle preview	`w`	`f`
New tab	`t`	`ctrl+t`
Copy path / current directory	`y p` / `y d`	`ctrl+p` / `c`
Hide / show files ignored by git	`z i`	`alt+i`
Jump to a frequent folder	`g j`	`alt+g`
Back / forward	`H` / `L`	none (use the history picker)
History picker	`g o`	`alt+h`
Disk usage view	`5` or `g u`	`5`

Both presets share F5 (refresh), alt+j / alt+k (scroll the preview), alt+/ (search the preview), tab, the arrow keys, /, ., :, ?, T, 1–5, ctrl+o (back), ctrl+g, e, E, Y (duplicate), = (permissions), C (compare), # (checksums), U (trash), X (extract), , (tags), ; (git menu), v and J / K (select), F (footer), P (pin), alt+p / alt+R / alt+s (pause, resume, retry as root), alt+1–alt+9 (tabs), q and Q. The vim preset adds g l / g L to paste symbolic links.

Remapping

Map keys to an action name, to a :command, or to "none" to unbind them:

[keys]
"ctrl+e" = "edit"
"g p" = ":cd ~/projects"
"g w" = ":theme rose-pine"
"x" = "none"

Keys are written as j, G, space, enter, esc, tab, backtab, backspace, delete, up, pageup, home, f5, with ctrl+, alt+ or shift+ in front. Separate keys in a sequence with spaces. Your mappings override both the preset and plugins.
