Press : to open the command prompt, then use commands such as:

Configuration

Keybindings can be customized via a Helix-style TOML config file at ~/.config/sheets/config.toml (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sheets/config.toml).

toml
[keys.normal]
"C-c" = "quit"
"C-s" = "command_prompt"

[keys.insert]
"C-c" = "commit_down"

[keys.select]
"d" = "cut_selection"

Each section maps a key to an action name. Only specify the bindings you want to override — unset keys keep their defaults. Set a key to "nop" to disable it.
