Key Tables

Key tables add tmux-style leader keys. They are off until you create ~/.boo/keytables.json:

{
  "leader": "ctrl+a",
  "timeout": 2,
  "tables": {
    "root": {
      "v": "Terminal/Split Right",
      "s": "Terminal/Split Down",
      "z": "Terminal/Zoom Pane",
      "k": "send:kubectl get pods\n",
      "w": { "table": "window" }
    },
    "window": {
      "n": "Window/Merge All Windows"
    }
  }
}

Press the leader, then a key from root. The status bar shows the mode (⌃A …, or ⌃A → window in a chained table) and the key goes nowhere else. A value is a menu command named by its menu path joined with / (Terminal/Split Right; a submenu adds a level, as in Terminal/Broadcast Input to/All Panes in Workspace), send:<text> to type text into the terminal, or { "table": "<name>" } to wait for a key from another table. Escape, an unbound key or timeout seconds (default 2) without a key end the mode; pressing the leader twice types the leader itself.

Keys are written as v, V (or shift+v), ctrl+w, cmd+opt+left; named keys are escape, tab, return, space, backspace and the arrows. Boo reads the file when it becomes active and the file has changed, and lists unknown commands, tables or keys in one alert.
