I have a keyboard with a similar arrangement, and I've still never quite gotten used to it. I make extensive use of the Mac's built-in text editing shortcuts, and chording them all gets very confusing.
Beginning of line: right-fn+cmd+h
Select beginning of line: right-fn+cmd+right-shift+h
Previous word: left-fn+option+h
Select previous word: left-fn+option+left-shift+h
I kept telling myself it would eventually click, but I found myself still making mistakes two weeks in.
- alpaca128 6y agoI guess the main difference here is that I am working with Vim and its shortcuts. Thanks to its modes and two leader keys I can use every shortcut using only one modifier. Only being restricted to usual system-wide shortcuts I think I also would have issues, at least without custom macros. For example I defined macros for Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab so I can switch browser tabs more comfortably, but I don't see that as much more than a crutch.
