ideavim VS streamdeck-ui

[this neovim plugin](https://github.com/abecodes/tabout.nvim) helps me get out of double quotes and parenthesis while being in insert mode (I use [ideavim](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/)). The present implementation of this behaviour in the IDE as [smart keys](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-smart-keys.html) isn't cutting it for me.

IntelliJ with Vim bindings is really good! It is actively supported so patches come often to fix some discrepancies with the original software. It even supports a handful of plugins out of the box.

For partial chest hair, use IdeaVim

The biggest advantage of vim is the movements (key bindings), and there are plugins for many editors for that, e.g. https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim

There are many apps, web sites, IDE plugins, and extensions that have vim keybindings. You can use vim keybindings all the time, everywhere.

There is a nerdtree plugin for ideavim https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/wiki/NERDTree-support

ideavim has vimscript, but I am not sure how "full" it is, never tried.

IntelliJ IDEA makes it definitively easy to start without setting things up. IdeaVim makes it better for a Vim user. But also frustrating, as certain Vim-features don't work.

Unfortunately, the StreamDeck doesn't emulate a standard USB HID device, so it needs a driver running in the background to detect button presses and do things like generate keystrokes or call Keyboard Maestro macros.

There's streamdeck-ui (https://timothycrosley.github.io/streamdeck-ui/), which is an open-source alternative, but it at first glance it seems to be only for Linux).

There are a bunch of other macro/launcher pads like the StreamDeck that DO act as standard USB HID keyboards, though, and those should work fine with Keyboard Maestro using keyboard shortcut triggers.

Found that one which seems to work with older models. https://github.com/timothycrosley/streamdeck-ui or https://flathub.org/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain

what OS do you have on ur pi? from what i know stream deck is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, you’d have to do a special setup to use it with Linux

Not sure if that keyboard has open source editing software, but Elgato Stream Deck certainly does.

tbh I didn’t have a problem with the official Windows app so I can’t say anything about that much

But under Linux I used this

Works pretty well by my experience under Debian. There are some edge cases like Wayland (see the issues) though.

The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.

Anyone have any experience with the ElGato Keylights on Linux? I use Ubuntu 22.04. I have stream deck that I use with Streamdeck-ui and I wanted to know if anyone uses these lights with a cli program that would allow me to control them? On, Off, brightness, etc?

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of the Stream Deck. It is also supported on Linux by Open Source library and app. Very tempting.
