Thanks for this wonderfully useful tool!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some of the essential key-bindings (such as Contol-d to delete a job/pod) conflict with those used in my terminal/TMUX environment, meaning I have to always perform those in another terminal using e.g. kubectl delete pods ....

Describe the solution you'd like A way to change the default key-bindings. Looking in the documentation and skimming the source code, I haven't seen a place to do this myself. I am not talking about the hotkeys option; as far as I can tell, they are a separate feature that also shouldn't contain any of the basic key-bindings.

Describe alternatives you've considered Another YAML file where all keybindings are stored and can be overridden. I am not sure how they are currently implemented, and am not fussy about how a solution may work.
