Mac keyboard shortcuts are aggravating
I use QMK it's firmware that communicates between you input devices and the rest of the computer. But not all keyboards (especially laptop keyboards) are not QMK compatible. In these situations you can use KBD does much of the same things except specificly for keyboard input and also is not as customizable.

There's a console tool called `chvt` which switches to a numbered vt. The source is at https://github.com/legionus/kbd/blob/master/src/chvt.c it looks like it uses a few ioctl's on the tty

Key remapping to vim navigation and more
I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.
