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

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

          This is me. I will find a way to make it work, it will be janky, and any update is liable to throw the entire thing into disarray.

    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.

    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.

        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 <CR>, and press it twice to get a real newline.

          I guess I just don’t write “blackjack and hookers” often enough. Sigh, I’ll never make a good Redditor.

          Funny, I’ve never actually had “kj” interrupt me in vim. Maybe once. It’s a funny way of realising I’ve never written certain words in vim!

    That’s some shitty, lossy compression.

    I have \yeet bound to ggdG (backslash being my leader key)

    Edit: Detail about leader. I’d add the proper binding but markdown’s being weird.

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

        Also capital G requires a shift press, so not sure how many keystrokes that counts as.

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

    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.

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