Anyone using Colemak and vim? I see a lot of different ways to combine both but they all are different and I don’t know which is a good one besides remapping the home row.
- Faaak 5y agoDvorak and vim here. Pro tip: don't remap. If you do it'll be hell when you have to use another "standard" vim (remote server, et.). Good Luck suffering for some months though, it's worth it in the end :-)
- GhettoComputers 5y agoThank you! I’ll try this first.
- ijlx 5y agoI use Colemak and vim. I learned Colemak before I got comfortable in vim, so I also spent some time trying to figure out what is best to do. I recommend just leaving hjkl in their default positions, no rebinding. That's what I ended up on and I don't regret it. They aren't in too awkward a position (all accessible by your right index finger). The default bindings are meant to be easily memorable, and you can use them anywhere you can find vim, even if you don't have your custom config.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoThanks I’ll give that a try first, it’s been paralyzing me from using it.
- vivab0rg 5y agoI'm getting close to be a 10-year Vim user and I've spent the last year learning Colemak slowly and paciently. I tried remapping for Colemak's sake, but I quickly decided against it. Now I've settled on Colemak-DH with an Extended Layer implemented with Kmonad and I'm a lot happier. For text navigation (besides the extended layer) I just use the EasyMotion plugin, so no need of remapping. I'm really digging it.
