OP explains as follows:
>as my Emacs usage waned, so its ancient keyboard shortcuts started to become a liability. I started mis-typing Emacs things in Visual Studio, and hitting Windows shortcuts in Emacs.
- submeta 3y agoI use (basic) Emacs shortcuts everywhere via Karabiner Elements. Caps is control. And Enter is control when pressed with another key.
- hollerith 3y agoThe point is that the basic Emacs shortcuts don’t work in VS or VSCode. Also your solution does nothing for the “temptation” to use Windows shortcuts in Emacs. There are ways of working around both of these problems with enough effort, but these workaround get exhausting and it becomes easier to just stop using Emacs.
