hunt-and-peck VS win-vind

A source-available alternative for Windows: https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck

For Windows, there is Fluent Search and hunt-n-peck.

2. Hunt and Peck: https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck has been my favorite, a simple version of shortcat for windows. But, it's not maintained and not as slick as some of these newer tools.

I use https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck which enables Vimium/EasyMotion style mousejumping. Windows only.

I want to emphasize the other comment:

> The other thing that's absolutely essential for using these larger format monitors is window management software and in general a more keyboard/macros focused workflow.

My 4k 39" screen really, really drove me to use keyboard shortcuts. By default on Windows, hitting Windows+Number will take you to the 1st/2nd/3rd/etc program in your taskbar. I use AutoHotKey to take this further, CapsLock+Number and CapsLock+F1-F12 also take me to predetermined programs. I install websites as Chrome apps (chrome://apps/) in order to make going to Gmail/Calendar/Github faster. I also use this script: https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/79338-simple-window-p... which makes window management (resizing, centering, moving, etc) much easier. I also use Vimium and this program https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck - now my hands almost never leave the keyboard.

I encourage you to spend some time optimizing your setup. It really, really pays off.

I guess it's similar to https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck/issues which I use now, did you know about it? differences etc?

I would mention Total commander and Quick Access Popup as two well known ones, but two gems that I see are undiscovered are:

- TouchCursor https://martin-stone.github.io/touchcursor/ the only one I found that allows you to use Space as modifier key, and works flawlesly (with other ahk scripts handling hotkeys running simultaneously). Praying it does not stop working with some Win10 update, as it is not being worked one, it seems

- https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck for more mouse free operation of any program.

Home - win-vind (pit-ray.github.io)

Check out win-vind! It also comes with a tiling window manager but I've never used that.

I'm testing https://pit-ray.github.io/win-vind/ and have big hopes. But its not vim Just vim'alike

You can take advantage of hybrid user interface with Win-vind you know[0]

Today, I released win-vind v4.1.1 modern ‏‏‎ configuration method is .vimrc style Please try it! https://github.com/pit-ray/win-vind BTW, the previous post is Window control like Vim on Windows.

Amazing work. Would have bought it instantly if I used Mac. In Windows land there is win-vind. For greater adoption you can follow Intellij model. Open core (for non-commercial use) and bonus closed source features through subscription. Vim aficionados are more likely to subscribe when emulation feels limiting. (time restriction is psychologically repelling :)
