Allow vim key set customization #3413

Closed eugenesvk closed 2 months ago

eugenesvk commented 2 months ago

Is your feature suggestion related to a problem? Please describe. Vim key feature repeats the age old vim mistake of using a key off Home keys (H) for cursor navigation

I'd like to stay on the home keys all the time for such a frequent operation and use jkl; instead of hjkl to match the cursor movement commands in other apps

(this is different from https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/3292 as that one is about adding more complicated commands, this one is just changing the default keys)

Describe the solution you'd like Allow editing alpha keys that comprise the vim cursor commands

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm using generic cursor keybinds with right Command + jkl;, but don't know of an alternative that would allow not using a modifier key

Hi,

I'm afraid this is a bit too niche of a feature. Vim uses hjkl to move the cursor, by default. AltTab offers that behavior. It's probably used by less than 1% of users. It wouldn't make sense to expand on it, and add more customization. If anything, I think it may potentially go away one day. I'm the first one to love powerusers feature. However, in the context of #1179, I'd like to maintain only the core features of AltTab.

Thank you 🙇
