klfc VS vim-easymotion

I use https://github.com/39aldo39/klfc in my scripts to generate the OS-specific files for ANSI layouts. I convert the KLA json to their format. There may be bugs in that process. Checking it is on to-do list.

On Windows I am using DreymaR's extend layer to navigate in Vim using the directional keys on JKLI (qwerty). On Linux I used KLFC to create a custom keyboard replicating that of Dreymar's, I just tweaked a few keys on the examples folder to better suit my needs.

The OTHER Big News is that I now have install files for basic ANSI layouts. They are in Alpha/Beta state, I have not tested them and will welcome feedback. They are generated via the Keyboard Layout Files Creator @ https://github.com/39aldo39/klfc

The diaeresis appears on the bépo layout by default. It also has Greek letters, like say Σ. I have extended bépo by setting Caps Lock to work as a modifier key, so I get twice as much space. Every time I meet a new symbol I want to have, I put it somewhere on the keyboard. klfc is a fantastic tool for this.

How did you create your custom layout? I already found out about klfc, but 1. It doesn't work on wayland, 2. It's not entirely clear to me how to use this tool.

KLE .json has a lot of issues. Den and I have started talking about what we need. Probably needs a wider group. There is already this project as well as Kalamine

vim-easymotion together with space as mapleader (let mapleader = "\" in your .vimrc) can open up a new world for you.

Why not sneak or easymotion?

I'm also on team no remap. I don't use hjkl anymore and instead have a nav layer bound to where hjkl would be when I hold a thumb key down. I also use https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion Bound to norm s.

Incredible that nobody mentioned vim-easymotion - totally necessary for me.

But have you tried https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion (I recommend let mapleader = "\").

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.

Been around since ~2012 via vim-easymotion as well: https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion

I second the suggestion of using a plugin like easymotion. https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion

For switching: I suggest you try easymotion. Basically it lets you jump (or I'd like to call it teleport) to anywhere on screen even across visible windows. I cannot imagine my workflow without it.
