What changed in v2.2.0

v2.0.0 rewrote how keybinds and actions are configured. Since v2.0.2 your config is merged with the defaults, so you only list the actions you change; v2.1.0 adds provider sets, a per-provider max results and going back to parent menus; v2.2.0 falls back to defaults on a broken config or theme and shows an error box. Groups v2.0.0 to v2.2.0.

Also: --nohints hides keyboard hints; Nerd Font icons work; a debug config option prints pressed keys.

v2.2.0; needs elephant v2.

New things you can do

providers.actions merge with the defaults since v2.0.2; bind defaults to Return.

AddedRebind each provider's actions to your own keys in config.toml.
