Channel create action help

[1094]

[metadata]
name = "markdown"
description = "A channel to select markdown files and edit them"
requirements = ["fd", "bat","vim"]

[source]
command = "fd -e md"

[preview]
command = "bat --color=always '{}'"

[ui]
preview_panel = { "size" = 70, "scrollbar" = true }

[keybindings]
shortcut = "f4"

[actions.edit]
description = "Edit the file"
command = "vim {}"
mode = "execute"

I would like this channel to only show markdown files and give me the ability to open/edit them in vim. Can you help me fix it?

Your channel looks perfectly fine :-)
You're just missing a keybinding for your action:

[metadata]
name = "markdown"
description = "A channel to select markdown files and edit them"
requirements = ["fd", "bat","vim"]

[source]
command = "fd -e md"

[preview]
command = "bat --color=always '{}'"

[ui]
preview_panel = { "size" = 70, "scrollbar" = true }

[keybindings]
shortcut = "f4"
ctrl-e = "actions:edit"  # <------------- here

[actions.edit]
description = "Edit the file"
command = "vim {}"
mode = "execute"

OH! I thought selection/enter would trigger the action.

However, when I try to run television with the edit, I get an error:

Failed to parse cable channel file /home/sir/.config/television/cable/markdown.toml: TOML parse error at line 16, column 1

16 | [keybindings]
   | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
unknown variant `ctrl-e`, expected one of `go_to_input_start`, `go_to_input_end`, `toggle_selection_down`, `toggle_selection_up`, `confirm_selection`, `select_and_exit`, `select_next_entry`, `select_prev_entry`, `select_next_page`, `select_prev_page`, `copy_entry_to_clipboard`, `scroll_preview_up`, `scroll_preview_down`, `scroll_preview_half_page_up`, `scroll_preview_half_page_down`, `quit`, `toggle_remote_control`, `toggle_help`, `toggle_status_bar`, `toggle_preview`, `toggle_send_to_channel`, `cycle_sources`, `reload_source`, `select_prev_history`, `select_next_history`

And the channel doesn't show up in the listing when I try to change it.

Which is listed as an error here: #679 but I'm running version 0.12.5.

If I use "actions:edit" = "ctrl-e" I get the same error starting with unknown variant actions:edit, expected one

Actions were introduced in 0.13 so you'll need to upgrade to a more recent version to get the feature.

Well, then, lol.
Thanks, I will look forward to it. I'm really enjoying television and once actions hit, it'll be replacing ranger on my writing machine.
