    I don't recall what I may have heard from others.
    Myself, I have firmly belonged to the school of
    "Control's place is in the third row from bottom"
    for many years.
    However, since I often have my left hand busy,
    I also map Pause to the whole C-x keymap.
    I also map F12 to `exchange-point-and-mark' (C-x C-x) and practice some other heresies as well.

  2. 🚀 Behold, the revolutionary Ghostty! A #terminal #emulator so advanced, it requires zero configuration... yet boasts "extensive" documentation 🤔. Featuring #infinite #keybindings and color themes, it's like throwing a rave party for your command line 💃🎉.

  3. 🥳🎉 Behold, a new tiling window manager for #Windows, because clearly *everyone* was clamoring for another way to open 39 windows at once and promptly lose track of them. Written in #Janet, because why use a language people have heard of? Get ready for #keybindings so complex, you'd swear they were designed by a prankster octopus. 🐙🖱️

  4. are defined all over the place. To give me a structure I think this hierarchy will help:

    - Global: System
    - Ghostty: Terminal
    - Bash: Shell
    - Starship: Prompt
    - tmux: Session mgnt
    - Neovim: Active app

    Goal is to intuitively know which of the above a keybind is for.

    Which is complicated since tons of commands, utilities, helpers, plugins... often integrates with more than one.

    My base is and plan is to iterate tweaking as I learn by using.

    Now the real fun begins 🤪

  5. Having another strange issue (this time not network related).

    If I attach an external Keyboard (Keychron Q8 ISO-DE) to my MacBook Air M2, it has a wrong Layout. The key on the left, next to shift should be "<" and ">" but is "^" and "°" - it's working fine on the internal keyboard. But it looks, like the system recognizes both keyboards as ANSI whereas it's ISO.

    Removing `/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist` and going through the keyboard-identification-wizard didn't help (as in: didn't changed anything).

    Created an Bugreport, which is open since weeks: FB16272721 - may a friendly apple employee jump in?

  8. Linear, Notion & Slack desktop apps all seem to use Cmd+[ and Cmd+] to navigate history.

  9. TIL #vim #keybindings may not be always a good idea

    I had this for a long time:
    imap jk <Esc>:w<CR>
    imap kj <Esc>:w<CR>

    I completely forgot it. Just a muscular motion, jk or kj just exit edit mode and save. I was even not close to using all the time.

    -je is a VERY common ending in Dutch/Flemish . And there are many word with a k in the end that can accept -je as a diminutive, like -chen in german, ito in spanish etc...

    I happened to need to write "plekje" in some note file, this word means "place/position". So its is common.

    I could not understand; each time I was trying to write the word I was interupted in the middle, just like completely WTF!!! I just needed to write this sentence and close this file!!!

    Phew...

    Maybe I can keep jk, and drop or just find a new combination, different than kj

    kkj

    I would never have bet to need to do this

  10. @abit_kt7 I occasionally feel like I should at least vaguely care about #Emacs since it has interesting features like org-mode, but other than finally deciding to ditch the default Emacs #keybindings in my shell for vi-mode because of finger memory, I've just added that to the list of "if I were immortal and had too much time on my hands." 😅

  11. Sometimes I forget has for almost everything.

    "With just a few keystrokes, it is possible to insert empty structural blocks, such as ‘#+BEGIN_SRC’ … ‘#+END_SRC’, or to wrap existing text in such a block.

    C-c C-, (org-insert-structure-template)"

  12. If you've ever dreamt of using more of (or other custom for that matter) in , just save

    github.com/jrus/cocoa-text-sys

    as

    ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict

    For more information, read

    github.com/jrus/cocoa-text-sys

    and look around the repo.

    Many thanks to Irreal for the enlightenment 👏

  13. I am slowly getting the hang of #Hyprland and creating/modifying configs for the #waybar, #keybindings and more.
    This journey is really reminding me of my roots when I first really started using #Linux with #Gentoo

    Aaaaaand I'm loving it!

  14. Made it about 24 hours before swapping Command and Option again. I tried to do it the Mac way, but this keeps Meta in a consistent place for Emacs, and Super (for OS shortcuts) in a consistent place across OSes.

  15. How do you say you are a vi user without saying you are a vi user?

    (This sucks and is really bad timing - hopefully Amazon will save the day tomorrow...)

    #vi #keybindings #broken #keyboard #nerdtragedy

  16. Every time I see an app (like this #mastodon web client) use #vim #keybindings I lose all dignity and end up gloating fatuously to my #emacs using friends.

    Am I alone in this bad habit?
