However popular demand lead to fully customizability of the key bindings.
On first start `gitui` will create `key_bindings.ron` file automatically based on the defaults.
This file allows changing every key binding.
Create a `key_bindings.ron` file like this:
```
(
focus_right: Some(( code: Char('l'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_left: Some(( code: Char('h'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_above: Some(( code: Char('k'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_below: Some(( code: Char('j'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
move_left: Some(( code: Char('h'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
move_right: Some(( code: Char('l'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
move_up: Some(( code: Char('k'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
move_down: Some(( code: Char('j'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),

Here is a [vim style key config](vim_style_key_config.ron) with `h`, `j`, `k`, `l` to navigate. Use it to copy the content into `key_bindings.ron` to get vim style key bindings.
