I've used a Kinesis for years and have found my favorite 'mouse' pairing to be a Kensington Slimblade. Switching to the trackball made a big difference for my RSI and it really sits pretty nicely next to the keyboard to let you switch to it with a small movement of your arm so my wrist always stays in a nice neutral position.
- kps 9y agoSame combination here. I tried many mice before settling on the Slimblade trackball. Since this is a vim-inspired thread: among other mappings, I swap Escape with Delete, and swap ↓ with ↑ so they line up with J and K.
- hultner 9y agoWith delete seems exotic, doesn’t it get confusing? I use caps-lock for escape. It’s really nice but whenever I use a coworkers computer I find myself suddenly writing with caps-lock on even though I’m the only vi-user at the office.
- eikenberry 9y agoThis is on a Kinesis keyboard where there is a delete key right under the left thumb. I re-mapped it to Alt, but it is a very handy spot to remap to something as delete just isn't that useful.
- charleslmunger 9y agoI have a vertical mouse, but install vim keybindings in every program I use with any frequency. I don't use the mouse often.
- jsjohnst 9y agoWhat do you use for vim bindings in a browser?
