    I guess the obvious one is “holding spacebar for control key”

      Look, my setup works for me. Can you please just add an option to reenable spacebar heating?

          This is me. I will find a way to make it work, it will be janky, and any update is liable to throw the entire thing into disarray.

    I’ve mapped jk to escape because it’s rare and it’s separate fingers in home row, so it’s faster than e.g. jj.

      I mapped kj instead. Can’t remember why, but I like it that way.

        Unfortunately both of those are used in common English or computer words. The only letter pairs not used are: bq, bx, cf, cj, dx, fq, fx, fz, hx, jb, jc, jf, jg, jq, jv, jx, jz, kq, kz, mx, px, qc, qd, qg, qh, qj, qk, ql, qm, qn, qp, qq, qr, qt, qv, qx, qy, qz, sx, tx, vb, vc, vf, vj, vm, vq, vw, vx, wq, wx, xj, zx.

        Personally I have mappings based on <CR>, and press it twice to get a real newline.

          I guess I just don’t write “blackjack and hookers” often enough. Sigh, I’ll never make a good Redditor.

          Funny, I’ve never actually had “kj” interrupt me in vim. Maybe once. It’s a funny way of realising I’ve never written certain words in vim!

    I map caps lock to esc with setxkbmap. Much more fun ergonomically.

      I use caps for switching languages instead of alt+shift or super+space.

      Very efficient thing when you need to use your native language and some code in one text message or code block.

      Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier

        It works great in i3config but in gnome I have problems with it.

    Ctrl+D = Alt+F4 in CMD.exe so that I can exit from that black box in the way the good lord intended.
