Another fine specimen, salute!
- bradwood 4y agoIf it was ESC instead you'd get a +1. ;)
- stefandesu 4y agoMine just does nothing.
- hybridtupel 4y agoWhat if I told you that you can have both? For me it's ctrl when I hold it down and use it with another key and esc when I press it briefly. Can be set up on a Mac with Karabiner Elements.
- bradwood 4y agoIf you told me that, I'd give you the +1. But Karabiner Elements doesn't work on my Arch box. I have a udev rule that does the ESC mapping, but will have to try harder to see if I can make it do that on Linux.

- maleldil 4y agoWhy not Command instead of Ctrl? Isn't that something that you use way more often?
- metaltyphoon 4y agoBecause I go used to use Emacs binding while on the terminal and VIM bindings for everything else. Ctrl + [ instead of ESC to change modes for me :D
- jbc1 4y agoI'm not that commenter but ctrl is my least favourite regularly used key to hit. It's not comfortable to reach with either my pinky or thumb. Command is basically where my thumb rests naturally, it's in prime position.
- corrral 4y agoYep, cmd is great where it is. If I compare cmd-shortcuts with identical ctrl-shortcuts, with normal key mapping, the ctrl ones strain my hand and pull my fingers away from the home row. The same cmd-based shortcuts do neither of those things. It's one thing Apple got very right, that everyone else is getting wrong.
