So wouldd^and then backspace change that to ctrl+backspace change that so control and backspace works for that and ctrl+h does hidden files or? Or do I need to do something like '' to tell DragonFM that there's no key bound for that function or do I just leave that blank? I can probably find something to rebind it to but I'm thinking just unbindd the backspace key?
