…industries#44560) Closes #ISSUE It seems that `ctrl-6` is used exclusively as an alias, as can be seen in the [linked section of the vim docs](https://vimhelp.org/editing.txt.html#CTRL-%5E) from the initial PR that added it. This however conflicts with the `ctrl-{n}` bindings for `pane::ActivateItem` on macOS, leading to confusing file selection when `ctrl-6` is pressed. Release Notes: - vim(BREAKING): Removed a keybinding conflict between the default macOS bindings for `pane::ActivateItem` and the `ctrl-6` alias for`pane::AlternateFile` which is primarily bound to `ctrl-^`. `ctrl-6` is no longer treated as an alias for `ctrl-^` in vim mode. If you'd like to restore `ctrl-6` as a binding for `pane::AlternateFile`, paste the following into your `keymap.json` file: ``` { "context": "VimControl && !menu", "bindings": { "ctrl-6": "pane::AlternateFile" } } ```
