Important Notes

1. Since we changed the key configuration, if you have a custom config you'll need to update it. As always, you can dump the default config and adjust it (after backing up your old config!) with: zellij setup --dump-config > ~/.config/zellij/config.yaml (for more details: https://zellij.dev/documentation/configuration.html)
2. We changed our STDIN parsing library - this means that more key combinations would work, but it also means that we unfortunately had to let go of the Alt + [] shortcuts for quick navigation. We do apologize for this and it was important to us to give an alternative (you can now use Alt + <Arrow Keys>). These never really worked well and caused a lot of issues. There was unfortunately no easy way around it.
