Unbinding Shift+I does not appear to do anything

When trying to unbind shift-i (I), the binding is not unbound.

Steps to reproduce

In your config.nu, use this keybinding.

Keybindings

$env.config.keybindings ++= [{
  modifier: shift
  keycode: char_i
  mode: vi_normal
  event: null
}]

Am I missing something?

We don't really have an unbind functionality. I'm not sure what happens when you make the event null.

[Thomot512]

Ok, that comes from the Nushell documentation.

[fdncred]

It may work in some situations, but I don't remember a specific PR to enable a nushell Value::Nothing to unbind. I also don't remember seeing an unbind functionality. This isn't really unbinding, it's binding to null which could have the same effect if it's implemented right, which it doesn't sound like it is based on your report.

Someone needs to dig in and see what's happening in this situation.

[Thomot512]

I understand. In that case, the documentation should be modified to reflect that fact.

[fdncred]

Or someone can do the research and either prove me wrong or fix the problem. It would be nice if that functionality worked in all cases.
