    No way, you met json irl?

      LMFAO! Perfect.

  • towerful@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I guess the obvious one is “holding spacebar for control key”

    source
    • andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Look, my setup works for me. Can you please just add an option to reenable spacebar heating?

      That’s horrifying

    I typically don’t know what I’m doing, so my favorite binding is :q!

  • rustydrd@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.

    • gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      this is definitely obscure

    I’ve mapped jk to escape because it’s rare and it’s separate fingers in home row, so it’s faster than e.g. jj.

    source
    • milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I mapped kj instead. Can’t remember why, but I like it that way.

      source
      • o11c@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Unfortunately both of those are used in common English or computer words. The only letter pairs not used are: bq, bx, cf, cj, dx, fq, fx, fz, hx, jb, jc, jf, jg, jq, jv, jx, jz, kq, kz, mx, px, qc, qd, qg, qh, qj, qk, ql, qm, qn, qp, qq, qr, qt, qv, qx, qy, qz, sx, tx, vb, vc, vf, vj, vm, vq, vw, vx, wq, wx, xj, zx.

        Personally I have mappings based on ``, and press it twice to get a real newline.

    That’s some shitty, lossy compression.

    I have \yeet bound to ggdG

    • AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      so you use 5 keystrokes to get out of typing 4.

      source
      • Vimlord@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Technically yes. However I figured it’d be a funny one to have in my vimrc.

      What?!

      And to think I was going to take an early night…

    Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c, alt-tab, Ctrl+z, enter.

      I have a Logitech G600 and have all those and more on the side buttons, lol.

      source
  • Bunnylux@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well, you see, I spilled coffee on my mechanical keyboard, permanently breaking the 2/@ key, so I mapped it to pause/break…

    source
  • somegeek@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I map caps lock to esc with setxkbmap. Much more fun ergonomically.

    source
    • Nefrace@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I use caps for switching languages instead of alt+shift or super+space Very efficient thing when you need to use your native language and some code in one text message or code block.

    • NateSwift@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier

      source
      • somegeek@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It works great in i3config but in gnome I have problems with it.

        source
  • BeanCounter@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah that’s why I switched from VSCode to nano!

    source
  • kamen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not a Vim user, but no matter what software I’m using, I might think about its keybindings like the first week of getting familiar with it; at one point they become muscle memory and I stop thinking about them.

    • sping@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yep. The primary advantage of keyboard control. It stops being something you engage your conscious brain for.

    alt+z for saving, I guess?

    source
  • JustAnotherUsername@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Ctrl+D = Alt+F4 in CMD.exe so that I can exit from that black box in the way the good lord intended.
