Just wait until someone shows him vim-clutch.

I used the same idea when setting up long-range WiFi (couple of KMs) via antenna for a mesh network.

In order to get the best latency/bandwidth, you need to point the antennas with precision at each other, and in order to know if you're pointing it right, you need to run some tool on a display at the same time, like `ping`, and see when it gets lower when you're pointing it right.

So rather than having to look with one eye towards the horizon, and one eye on a screen to see a tiny number (which I found impossible), I made a quick script that outputs a beep each time ping returns output, with the frequency being higher when the latency got lower. So now I could focus solely on the horizon while using my ears to hear if I was getting in the right direction.

Lots of fun, super useful and makes me wonder (just like you) what other tooling we could use more senses with, rather than just our eyes.

Im thinking about an improvement, where instead of pressing modifier keys, you simply use 2 vim clutches one for the row above and one for the one below

About two weeks ago, I posted a picture here about a vim clutch (a.k.a. vim pedal) that I got as a present from a friend. Its function is very simple: when you press the pedal, it types i and takes you to insert mode. When you release it, it types ESC and you are back in normal mode. Under the post, fellow redditors started to discuss whether it makes sense for the pedal to type i? Most people were guessing that o and a would be used much more often. I thought, "hey, why don't I just measure it for a couple of days and create statistics about it?"

For feet, I've seen builds like https://github.com/foxweb/vim-pedal or https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch
