  • key-chord

    Map pairs of simultaneously pressed keys to commands

  • To implement, you can use the key-chord package.

  • kanata

    Improve keyboard comfort and usability with advanced customization

  • If that's not an option for you (perhaps your main computer is a laptop) then I recommend at least customizing the layout. Check out Kanata . It let's you do a lot of the cool QMK stuff, but at the software level. (When I get to my PC I'll share my layout just to give you a rough idea of some of the improvements that are possible)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • meow

    Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑 (by meow-edit)

  • I still have phases where I experiment with modal editing, but I haven't messed with Evil-mode in a long time. I prefer Meow, in part because it doesn't invest everything on a single command layout. And the sample Dvorak layout meshes really well with Emacs bindings for special modes (like Dired and Ibuffer). So you don't have to install and configure something like Evil-collection just to use the same bindings everywhere.

    A set of keybindings for evil-mode
