Now managed by yadm, which is pretty nice.

My environment is based around alacritty, tmux, and neovim. xmonad on Linux. Divvy on macOS.

xmonad https://xmonad.org/manpage.html kakoune https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/blob/master/doc/pages/keys.asciidoc tmux https://gist.github.com/mzmonsour/8791835 tmux-tilish https://github.com/jabirali/tmux-tilish i3m https://i3wm.org/docs/refcard.html

Kakoune keybindings that use control: MANY

There are three nested layers in which operations are performed.

• OS Window Manager (xmonad, amethyst)
  • Application Context (tmux, chromium)
    • Application Operations (kakoune, neovim)

Super - OS Window Manager (xmonad, amethyst) Control - Application / tmux Space - Application Context / neovim

The goal is to have keys perform the same conceptual operation within the given layer. Where X is the modifier to target a layer.

Key combos that feel good on the fingers (Kinesis Advantage custom layout) in order:

• [Super] + [Shift] - Target OS window manager

  • macos: amethyst
  • linux: xmonad

• [Alt] + [Shift] - Target application context

  • chrome: tabs
  • tmux: tabs, panes

• [Ctrl] + [Shift] - Target application actions

  • kakoune: user mode bindings
  • neovim: leader bindings

By always using the [Shift] modifier, we avoid conflicts with most existing app and OS keybindings.
