What's Wrong?

When using the new /terminal-setup command on zed, Claude Codes deleter user keymap config and replaces with the setting for creating a new line with Shift+Enter

  {
    "context": "Terminal",
    "bindings": {
      "shift-enter": ["terminal::SendText", "\^[\r"],
    },
  }

Currently it silently creates a .bak file. There is no warning or indication to the user that their keymaps config was modified.

This can be very problematic as Zed allows you to add multiple keymaps on different modes, in particular for vim modes, when you could replicate leader keymaps (e.g. https://gist.github.com/oca159/0b480ed6555056418905b6e59af33674)

What Should Happen?

There is two options:

  • Add the new kepmap at the bottom
  • Inform the user that the file has been modified and he should verify the new config.
