I thought you wanted the developer to remove ^N and ^P and replace them with ^J and ^K (as @johnku originally requested), not add an option to change the key bindings.

 

I see! Then maybe I shouldn't have posted it here and I should make a new post for this request?

I don't see any problem with having multiple key combinations for the same action. As long as I can choose which keys to use to navigate in search results I would be happy.

I don't understand what you mean by "No reason you can't have both". I think it would be great to give the user an option to choose which shortcuts will take him/her to the next or previous search result. Right now it's Ctrl + N for next and Ctrl + P for the previous item in the Alfred search result. I want to go to next item using Ctrl + J and previous item using Ctrl + K. There is no convenient method to achieve it using BTT or karabiner elements. So I think this should be added to the app.

Could you please add this feature to change Ctrl + N/P to Ctrl +J/K. It doesn't work with Karabiner elements and BTT. Please!

Thanks!

Thank you Vero, very good points. Is there any way to change Ctrl+n/p to something else like j/k?

Hi,

I'm using BTT to map Ctrl+J and Ctrl+K to up/down arrow keys and also my control is now mapped to caps lock using Karabiner elements. So this way when I'm typing in the search filed of Alfred I can easily hold caps lock + J or K to move up and down on search results without having to use arrow keys that are kinda farther from where my hands are. This does work in Alfred unless the mouse cursor is not inside the Alfred window otherwise mouse cursor will override my arrow key movements and after releasing any keys, selection will jump back immediately to where the mouse cursor is. I know mouse cursor is not intervening with the normal arrow keys but is there any way to disable the mouse when any key is pressed? Or at least mouse position should be ignored if any key is pressed right?
