Mac Version: Catalina 10.15.7
Onivim Version: 0.5.9-nightly (0.5.2092)

Two items strike me as usability issues for myself and I wanted to welcome any comments on resolving or agreeing with their existence.

Item 1
Common shortcut for previous commands entered at the command line is control + p. This however opens the file selection pallet when entered with the terminal in focus. Additionally pressing command + p opens this same pallet. It should be noted that once in the pallet you can navigate using control + p / command + p and control + n / command + n.

  • I find this hurts my keyboard control flow, I would suggest that the super + p and shift + super + p be used to access these pallets, and control be left to navigate with p and n
  • Or simply have settings that allow me to customize this.

Item 2
Open terminal, then opening a file places new file in the terminal pane area, replacing your view of the terminal.

  • I don't mind that the terminal behaves like any other pane, however i welcome a default or config related to this so it can open new files in the primary panes, assuming everyone feels similarly that the term is likely wanted to stay visible.

Thank you.
