Oni Version: 0.3.9
Neovim Version (Linux only): v0.4.0-dev
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04

Issue:
As a bepo user, I have the normal hjkl remapped in my neovim configuration with ctsr. This implies everything related to motion from cursor moves to window moves. With Oni, I struggle to adapt the settings for keeping a smooth experience as a non regular keyboard layout user. No problems to far with the editor thanks to the "oni.loadInitVim": true.

But for moving around Oni windows, I can't find a way to remap everything.

I currently have

    // Move about splits easier.
    oni.input.bind("<a-c>", () =>
        oni.editors.activeEditor.neovim.command(`call OniNextWindow('h')<CR>`)
    )
    oni.input.bind("<a-t>", () =>
        oni.editors.activeEditor.neovim.command(`call OniNextWindow('j')<CR>`)
    )
    oni.input.bind("<a-s>", () =>
        oni.editors.activeEditor.neovim.command(`call OniNextWindow('k')<CR>`)
    )
    oni.input.bind("<a-r>", () =>
       oni.editors.activeEditor.neovim.command(`call OniNextWindow('l')<CR>`)
    )

This help a bit to move from the editor to the explorer and then to the sidebar but I can't move from the explorer down to the achievements and to the search with "t". I still need to use "j".
And secondly, I cannot figure out how to remap keys in the explorer. I would like to use "ts" instead of "jk" for moving the cursor up and down.

I started reading the code and the API but did not find a simple way of doing that.

Maybe I am missing something?

Expected behavior:
Being able to move globally within the Oni UI with other keybindings that hjkl.

Actual behavior:
I currently have to mix between my custom bindings and default bindings.

Steps to reproduce:
Just use the above keybindings.
And here is a part of my configuration.

"oni.useDefaultConfig": true,
"oni.loadInitVim": true,

Thanks a lot, the project is otherwise amazing and I would love using it on a daily basis if I manage to make it home!
