  • I am all for your efforts.

    I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit.

    But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows, Linux)

    I never get into Vim primarily because of HJKL. I have spent many hours trying. But I do use IJKL as arrow keys via hardware keyboard macros, AutoHotKey, Karabiner Elements, or the like. I have mostly bent Windows and KDE Linux to my Mac-like keyboard standards. (And my Mac’s are heavily customized too)

    I do heavily use CTRL and arrow keys for word by word navigation, and all the other arrow key bindings. So that is a personal deal breaker for me.

    You should take a look at the Micro editor. It shares many of your ideas.
