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.

🚀 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 💃🎉.

🥳🎉 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. 🐙🖱️

#Keybindings 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 #VimMotions and plan is to iterate tweaking as I learn by using.

Now the real fun begins 🤪

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?

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

@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." 😅

Wow! Thanks, Erik and contributors :D

In fact, I even tried to blog around this concept in this post
https://swapniljoshi.xyz/vim-bindings-everywhere

#vim #productivity #keybindings #shortcuts #linux #opensource

Sometimes I forget #Emacs #orgmode has #keybindings 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)"

https://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-Templates.html

If you've ever dreamt of using more of #Emacs #keybindings (or other custom #shortcuts for that matter) in #MacOS, just save

https://github.com/jrus/cocoa-text-system/blob/master/KeyBindings/Emacs%20Opt%20Bindings.dict

as

~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict

For more information, read

https://github.com/jrus/cocoa-text-system/blob/master/cocoa-text.md

and look around the repo.

Many thanks to Irreal for the enlightenment 👏

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!

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.

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...)

@dgoosens TIL... #keybindings

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?
