Manage the zellij config, with the session manager reachable from the keyboard - #19

… keyboard zellij was installed by the Brewfile but its config was never tracked, so default_mode "locked" -- set at some point through zellij's own configuration plugin, which rewrote ~/.config/zellij/config.kdl into a 650-line expansion of every default -- broke the session manager with nothing in the repo to explain it. The manager would open and take mouse input but ignore the keyboard. A floating plugin pane only receives keys while zellij is in locked mode (zellij-org/zellij#4599, open). The stock session-mode binds end with SwitchToMode "normal", which is exactly the state where the plugin goes deaf, so each of the six now lands back in locked. The tracked file is the four settings that actually differ from stock rather than the generated dump: comparing the two mode-by-mode showed the dump was the defaults verbatim apart from those, and overriding without clear-defaults merges over them. Verified by driving zellij in a pty -- typing reaches the session manager, Esc closes it back to LOCKED, and Ctrl-t n still opens a tab.

default_mode "locked"had been set through zellij's own configuration plugin — which also rewrote~/.config/zellij/config.kdlinto a 650-line expansion of every default — and that broke the session manager, with nothing in the repo to explain why. It would open and accept mouse input but silently ignore the keyboard.The cause is upstream: a floating plugin pane only receives keystrokes while zellij is in locked mode (zellij-org/zellij#4599, still open). The stock session-mode binds end with
SwitchToMode "normal", which is precisely the state where the plugin goes deaf, so all six now land back inlocked.The tracked file is the four settings that actually differ from stock, not the generated dump — a mode-by-mode comparison showed the dump was the defaults verbatim apart from those, and overriding without
