Hey @derailed 👋 I know you're probably busy with other things, but I want to follow up with this PR. It adds "q" as a valid back button on screens where there is no input. I can't tell you how much of a QoL improvement this is for me, and by the sounds of it, a few other users of k9s as well. Thank you for all your work with this project! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you! |
