So Karabiner to me is in the same category. It removes literally all frictions I have in interfacing with my computer. I can activate ANY app I use on my mac in less than 1 second (two key taps). On iPad that would require multiple gestures unless the apps were not recently used.
Have you used Karabiner hyper keys?
You might misunderstand just how powerful it is. For example I have all keys on my keyboard be custom hyper keys. That means I have around 30 modifier keys with 30+ keys mapped to each modifier with access of < 1 second away from me.
And it's not just Karabiner that iPad lacks. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro are two other essential tools. I am trying to bring one to iOS so hope that part will be solved.
Here is my config, it might bring more light to what I mean: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karabiner/karabiner.edn https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab...
- chrisseaton 6y agoSounds like it works for you. > That means I have around 30 modifier keys with 30+ keys mapped to each But to me that sounds like my worst nightmare. I really hate having to learn keyboard shortcuts. I'd much rather use touch and gestures and things. I don't really need to switch apps in less than one second - that's not the bottleneck in my workflow - usually thinking is. Having a config like yours would make me despair. I don't like to configure anything - I just use the defaults and get on with my work. > And it's not just Karabiner that iPad lacks. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro are two other essential tools. They are demonstrably not essential, since people can get things done without them.
