VimMode.spoon VS listudy

- https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon - Vim mode everywhere

VimMode.spoon (open source, free)

I have a Hammerspoon plugin that does a fairly decent job: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app

It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.

If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.

there's some free solutions out there like Karabiner-Elements(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) (but doesn't manipulate/calculate text, just key mapping) and VimMode.spoon (https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon). if you don't wanna bother with setting those up there's also one-time payment stuff, that are basically wrappers around Karabiner Elements.

I wrote this to handle a 2 letter key sequence being pressed (to support jk entering vim mode): https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon/blob/master/lib/key_sequence.lua

Love to see this windows project! If anyone wants some MacOS Vim functionality everywhere, I have a small library I maintain for that: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

and also let's not forget the awesome VimMode.spoon from dbalatero: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

It comes with experience. There is a website called listudy.org that has a section called “Blind Tactics” that might help with visualization.

Listudy: Memorise openings with spaced repetition. Chess Endgame Training Chessercise: Practice chess with YouTube. Chess Madra: Build and practise an opening repertoire. Aimchess: Learn your strengths and weaknesses.

If you are trying to practice a certain opening, I would highly recommend listudy.org just to build that spaced repetition in your head.

I find https://listudy.org very useful for drilling lines. I don't see it mentioned often, but it allows you to import any lichess study (selfmade or other) into it and it'll pick a random line that's up to you to correctly play out until the end. Works very well if you do it enough

I use private Lichess Studies to store/build my repertoire. Start "choosing" your preferred responses to various opening moves and store them there. Start 1 move deep at a time and branch out slowly. At low level of play it's actually better to go just a few moves deep and have some canned responses to common bad moves from your opponents. You can import your lichess study into listudy.org which turns your saved opening prep into spaced repetition exercises to practice.

listudy.org

Second, you can check out https://listudy.org which can do this with lichess studies.
