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
Kanata is an alternative (like KMonad) that I’ve heard good things about.
btw
I just use qmk on my split keyboard.
Trying it at the moment. Thank you!
Edit: It’s working better than I expected. Thanks for the suggestion
If this works I would recommend yuihjknm, being mapped to 789456123 respectively, with space mapped to 0. That’s how I have it set up on my mechanical keyboard and it’s quite fast. I also recently mapped b to . which makes typing IP addresses quite a bit faster.
What’s the background for that order? why not just asdfghjkl; to 1234567890? (just curious, no offense)
To emulate a numpad.
