Karabiner-Elements VS iTerm2

You probably know this but you can remap Eject to Delete using Karabiner.

What I've done is configure yabai and skhd in a way that somewhat mimics my i3 setup (dotfiles in case it helps) with the help of Karabiner-Elements since Apple wouldn't recognize my keyboard layout properly (or at all...).

Download this code: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/files/3633575/karabiner.json.zip (The source of this code was found at the bottom of this thread https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/1287 )

Take a look at Karabiner-Elements

you might be able to get this to work with karabiner. There's existing rules for things like ctrl+h/j/k/l for arrow keys. Looks like there is a way to make regular keys act as modifiers too. I don't think your specific example anybody has made before, but it looks like it can be done.

As for the tiling windows manager there is https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst (there is yabai too but as I saw you need to change some critical files for it to work) For keyboard shortcuts you can use karabiner https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements (you can import configs from its site to make the OS usable)

GitHub - pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements: Karabiner-Elements is a powerful utility for keyboard customization on macOS Sierra (10.12) or later.

I just came across https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/1225 and it looks like I can modify the file at ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json so I don't need to use the UI to edit JSON

iterm2…

I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:

[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)

[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)

My daily driver is WezTerm…

- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD

- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)

- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).

- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)

- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)

- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)

- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)

- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)

- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading

- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)

- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)

- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)

- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)

- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)

- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets

- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP

- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)

- Kitty graphics support

- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

Over the past few years, my coding journeys have been accompanied by the reliable iTerm2, offering a seamless experience without any fuss. It seemed like I had everything I needed until I came across Warp. Exploring this innovative terminal emulator over the past few weeks has been a delightful revelation, bringing a fresh perspective and exciting features to my development environment. Website link

A decent terminal application (i.e: iterm2, alacritty, etc.)

I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette.
