Vim Pinky and Programmable Keyboard
I use my left pinky to jump back and forth in vim with cscope, ctags + vim comb a lot everyday. Especially ctrl + t, o, ]
and so on. However, it has been hurt slightly. I thought that it might be by the use of the pinky a lot, so that looked for a solution in Google. Firstly, I could have modified my input method program a bit such that swap between Ctrl
and Caps Lock
, but felt frustrated all the steps code level to testing. At a random period of time looking for solutions, I just looked down, see my keyboard and found out there was a key saying "Switch layer".
I said "Yeh, that's it!"
I am currently using Vortex Race 3 and it has it. It supports 4 switch layers and be able to customize user keymap in each one. So I swapped these two keys, Caps Lock
and Ctrl
. Yet I am still trying to get used to the new map, my pinky gets better. :-)
Let me say this, not all keyboards existed support this functionality. You should check it out first.
