bind control-shift-u to unicode-input, move urls to o
Having a keybinding to invoke arbitrary unicode characters is very useful. It's often used as a method of last resort to communicate with people outside of your main language. For example, if you want to type the last letter of my real name, you can invoke the latin-1 character 0xe9 or unicode 0x00e9. You can also use this to type special characters, for example, unicode U+1F4A9 is of course, the infamous PILE OF POO, which is sure to produce million laughs everywhere you go. In foot, there's no keybinding by default to invoke the very useful unicode-input command. There is no "standard" (as in "ISO") keybinding this either. But there *is* a de-facto standard currently deployed by *both* GTK and Qt (a rare feat) *and* Chrome OS (an even rarer feat) and it's control-shift-u. Alternatives include Control-x 8 (emacs), Control V u (vim), Alt (Windows, LibreOffice), or Option (Mac). I doubt we want to adopt any of those. So let's use control-shift-u for this. Unfortunately, it's currently assigned to show-urls-launch, which is unfortunate, but insurmountable. We can reassign this keybinding elsewhere. I have picked control-shift-o in my configuration, because "o" is a good mnemonic for "open URLs". Others have suggested "m" instead. Closes: #1183

### Changed
|

|
||||
* `Control+Shift+u` now bound to `unicode-input` to follow the
|
||||
convention established in GTK and Qt, `show-urls-launch` now bound
|
||||
to `Control+Shift+o` ([#1183][1183])
|
||||
* Default color theme from a variant of the Zenburn theme, to a
|
||||
variant of the Solarized dark theme.
|
||||
* Default `pad` from 2x2 to 0x0 (i.e. no padding at all).
