others don't seem to like this, but i've found the following global key swaps effective
swap ctrl->alt
LCtrl::LAlt
RCtrl::RAlt
swap capslock->alt
Capslock::Alt
this enables you to hit "ctrl" with your thumb (next to the spacebar), and capslock becomes the new "alt". so no more reaching for that hard to reach LCtrl key with your pinky.
- lunchboxsushi 10y agoit's a tad bit weird but all the other command power you get from vim is just really comfortable. But I can see that swap working out in vanilla emacs
- platz 10y agosure - it's not a vim or emacs-specific re-mapping tbh, because many programs require liberal usage of ctrl.
- ake1 10y agothe inability to press left ctrl with the top right of your left hand palm is an unfortunate side effect of most laptop keyboards.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoNah, swap Ctrl with Capslock. Alt is by far less commonly used. I swapped alt with RShift for a while, but Alt is fine as Alt really.
- platz 10y agoright. Alt is less used - which is why I mapped it to capslock: i find LAlt easier to hit with my thumb than capslock with pinky
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI find the opposite. I don't know why. But whatever works...
