Use CMD key as CTRL key in Neovim #1545

Closed martin-braun closed 1 year ago

martin-braun commented 1 year ago

On MacOS, I use karabiner to map my outer-most fn key to cmd, so I can use bindings like I am on Windows. On Terminal windows I then swap fn with ctrl to have the ctrl key on the outer most position.

I need the same setup for embedded Neovim in the browser. I use the Arc Browser. I thought about adding the fn-ctrl swap rule to Arc, but then I have to copy and paste everything using the physical ctrl key, which is less ideal.

It would be nice if I could remap keys only for the Neovim iframe. Mapping the cmd-key in macOS within Neovim doesn't work either.

I just tried mapping cmd-a in firenvim on this page, it works:

nnoremap <d-a> ifoo<esc>

It sounds like you want to remap cmd to ctrl for all mappings. That would mean another layer of remappings:

  1. your OS / window manager
  2. chrome
  3. firenvim
  4. nvim

 @justinmk thanks, it was a problem on my end, indeed it works. Good job.

Yes, but no. Too many conflicts at this point. Just the basic stuff to use Neovim conveniently. Thanks again!
