🎯 Use case
This file lives under “keybindings/”, which covers keyboard shortcuts and binding tables. On the API surface it exposes DEFAULT_BINDINGS — mainly types, interfaces, or factory objects. Dependencies touch bun:bundle and src. It composes internal code from utils and types (relative imports).
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments — not hand-reviewed for every path.
