When reporting a bug, please also upload the `yazi.log` log file - only upload the most recent content by time.
You can find it in the "C:\\Users\\hongyuanjia\\AppData\\Roaming\\yazi\\state" directory.

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

In yazi.toml we can have a for field to specify the settings for specific platforms, e.g.:

[opener]
edit = [
    { run = '${EDITOR:=vi} "$@"', block = true, desc = "$EDITOR", for = "unix" },
    { run = 'nvim "%@"', block = true, desc = "neovim", for = "windows" }
]

I wonder if it is possible to do the same in keymap.toml? E.g.:

[[manager]]
prepend_keymap = [
    { on = [ "<C-s>" ], run = 'shell "$SHELL" --block --confirm', desc = "Open shell here", for = "unix" },
    { on = [ "<C-s>" ], run = 'shell "pwsh" --block --confirm', desc = "Open shell here",for = "windows" }
]

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

[[manager]]
prepend_keymap = [
    { on = [ "<C-s>" ], run = 'shell "$SHELL" --block --confirm', desc = "Open shell here", for = "unix" },
    { on = [ "<C-s>" ], run = 'shell "pwsh" --block --confirm', desc = "Open shell here",for = "windows" }
]

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues
• The latest nightly build of Yazi doesn't already have this feature

[sxyazi]

Sorry, this is one of the features I don't want to add because it goes against Yazi's design philosophy. Yazi is meant to have consistent behavior across all platforms, so assigning different functions to the same key on different platforms would clearly violate that.

The reason we introduced for for [opener] was to hide these differences - even if the opener defines different programs, you can still use them consistently within [open]. The same goes for keybindings: if you really want to have platform-specific differences, please hide them in a plugin, here is an example #51 (comment)

[hongyuanjia]

No worry, it totally makes sense. Thanks for the hint.
