[Bug Report] Wrong or now shortcuts are shown in the command palette on macOS

[michaelmariaott]

Describe the bug
When opening the command palette with Cmd + Shift + P, the editor shows wrong or no shortcuts for many commands.

Example:
Delete Line: No shortcut instead of Cmd + X
Move Down To Empty Line: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Cmd + ArrowDown (which is the shortcut for Select Down To Empty Line) instead of the same combination without shift

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the command palette
2. Start typing a command name
3. check the shortcut

Expected behavior
Showing the correct shortcut for each command.

• OS: macOS
• Focus Version: 0.3.8

Please provide your keymap config. Also, does this reproduce on the nightly? (Link to nightlies can be found on focus-editor.dev)

This is the state immediately after downloading and launching for the first time, without ever opening or changing anything in the keymap config. Id does reproduce on the nightly.

Also, it seems like installing a Nightly build overrides the existing global config. Is this supposed to happen or should I open another bug report for that? It leads to error messages when launching the stable due to unknown colors and actions.

Here is the global config after installing the Nightly (no manual changes):

[25]  # Version number. Do not delete.

[[workspace]]
# These directories and files will be scanned when a workspace is opened so that search etc. works.
# Example:
# /Users/my_name/projects/my_project  # <- the first directory in the list becomes the working directory
# /Users/my_name/jai
# src  # <- this would be relative to the config file location

[ignore]
# Files and directories matching the following wildcards will not be loaded or descended into
# Example:
# *.js - will ignore all files with a '.js' extension
# tmp* - will ignore any files or directories which start with 'tmp'
# /Users/my_name/project/dirname/** - will ignore everything under `dirname`
# /Users/my_name/project/dirname/*  - will ignore all files under `dirname`, but not recursively
.svn
.git

[allow]
# Files and directories matching the wildcards in this section will be loaded, even if they are ignored in the previous section.
# NOTE: known binary file extensions are ignored by default (*.so, *.pdb etc.). If this is not what you want, you can explicitly allow them here.

[file associations]
# Optional file associations in the format `<wildcard1> <wildcard2> ... : <language>`
# Example:
# *.hpp *.hh *.h : cpp
# todo.txt : todo

Okay so far I can only see one issue - shortcuts with an optional shift will be displayed with the Shift in them. I will accept a PR which fixes that (can't spend any time on this myself right now)

Delete line is not bound to anything in your config, so having no shortcut is expected.

installing a Nightly build overrides the existing global config. Is this supposed to happen

Yes, it auto-migrates the config, but it keeps the old config version (check for a .bak file next to it if you want to revert)

Ah, it seems I was thrown off by the fact that Cmd-X cuts the whole line, if nothing is selected. I thought this was a separate command from the default Cut command.
