How to remap built-in keybindings like `C-n` and `C-w`?
I could use some external key remappers like xremap. But I'm already using kanata and I can't use two key remappers for the same keyboards (kanata (or kmonad for that matter) doesn't allow application-specific remaps).

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
