# Description
This pull request enhances the `add_parsed_keybinding` function to
provide greater flexibility in specifying keycodes for keybindings in
Nushell. Previously, the function only supported specifying keycodes
directly through character notation (e.g., `char_e` for the character
`e`). This limited users to a small set of keybindings, especially in
scenarios where specific non-English characters were needed.
With this new version, users can also specify characters using their
Unicode codes, such as `char_u003B` for the semicolon (`;`), providing a
more flexible approach to customization, for example like this:
```nushell
{
name: move_to_line_end_or_take_history_hint
modifier: shift
keycode: char_u003B # char_;
mode: vi_normal
event: {
until: [
{ send: historyhintcomplete }
{ edit: movetolineend }
]
}
}
```
# User-Facing Changes
Added support for specifying keycodes using Unicode codes, e.g.,
char_u002C (comma - `,`):
```nushell
{
name: <command_name>, # name of the command
modifier: none, # key modifier
keycode: char_u002C, # Unicode code for the comma (',')
mode: vi_normal, # mode in which this binding should work
event: {
send: <action> # action to be performed
}
}
```
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
