How to remap enter to a different command to execute

[bernardassan]

I use fzf as my launcher in sway an have the command below in my launcher.zsh

#unbind isn't evaluated immediately until an event or key stroke is executed and rebind is used to bind after unbinding
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='find /usr/share/applications -name "*.desktop" | xargs basename -s ".desktop"' \
        fzf --no-multi --height 100% --layout reverse-list --margin 3% --padding 3% --info hidden \
        --bind 'ctrl-d:reload(sleep 0.01;find /usr/share/applications -name "*.desktop" | xargs basename -s ".desktop")+change-prompt(desktop > )+rebind(enter)+unbind(alt-enter)' \
        --bind 'enter:execute(swaymsg -t command exec gtk-launch {})+abort' \
        --bind 'ctrl-e:reload(printenv PATH | xargs -d : -I {} -r find -L {} -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable -printf "%f\n" 2>/dev/null| sort -u)+change-prompt(executable > )+rebind(alt-enter)+unbind(enter)' \
        --bind 'alt-enter:execute(swaymsg -t command exec kitty {})+abort' \
        --prompt 'desktop > ' \
        --header-first --header "					sway app launcher"

How can I rebind enter to execute swaymsg -t command exec kitty {} when in the ctrl-e mode (executable) and swaymsg -t command exec gtk-launch {} when in ctrl+d mode (desktop)

if that isn't possible, Is the a way I can prevent alt-enter from working in the default fzf command mode (the initial interface command loaded with FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND) because with what i have now , I am able to disable the wrong key from been pressed in a different mode but only after either ctrl-e or ctrl-d has been executed. In default mode, both enter and alt-enter can be pressed and that leads to some surprisingly unexpected results. I have read the man pages and saw the --expect option , I thought that is what I needed but It doesn't do what I want.

Have a look at https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/Examples#dnf

The example does not unbind and rebind enter. Rather, it uses a single enter command, stores the current state (whether in ctrl-e or ctrl-d mode) in a temp file and then uses that to determine what enter should do.

@tg0h Thank you for the pointer, The examples did help.
