What's Wrong?

According to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/keybindings it should be possible to define custom keybindings. But typing /keybindings just results in Unknown skill: keybindings. And manually adding

{
  "$schema": "https://www.schemastore.org/claude-code-keybindings.json",
  "$docs": "https://code.claude.com/docs/en/keybindings",
  "bindings": [
    {
      "context": "Chat",
      "bindings": {
        "ctrl+e": "chat:externalEditor",
        "ctrl+u": null,
        "shift+k": "app:exit"
      }
    }
  ]
}

to ~/.claude/keybindings.json does not have any effect.

What Should Happen?

Keybinding skill working, and keybindings respected.
