For over 2 years my only problem when using vim is how hard to reach the number keys are. They make jumping between lines easier but despite my attempts to get used to the far number keys, some are still not easy to reach like 6. I only have ideas of what would an ideal solution could look like but I don’t know how to execute them. One is to make caps lock some kind of modifier which turns home row keys into number keys, but because of the limitations of terminal emulators even if I turn caps lock into an obscure modifier (in kde settings) I won’t be able to use it in neovim. I would appreciate any ideas that help. I’m using kde plasma with wayland under arch linux.
Edit: please no mention of split keyboards. Even if I can afford them I prefer not getting used to something I have to carry additionally with my laptop
Do you have especially short fingers? Or other physical problems?
Or do you just need to learn to type?
Thanks for the comment. Neither, I’ve been typing with 10 fingers for 3 years, and my fingers are normal. I just want to access my number row without having to move my hands as much. It’s a hyper optimization I know but I would move closer to typing and editing with the speed of thought if I do it
That’s 30 finger-years!
