1. Synergy
I use Synergy to use my netbook's keyboard and touchpad for my workstation. I just zoom everything up on the workstation and lay back on the bed and code. Very cool. Bash alias on both systems is "synergize"
The next thing that I am going to do is switch the server and client roles automatically so that when I am using the workstation I would be able to control my netbook.
2. Tmux
I ssh to the workstation from my netbook and attach to a running Tmux session. Feels like working locally.
3. Redshift
Decrease brightness in the evening, I have a bash alias called "soothing" which does the job.
4. Wake on Lan
Start the workstation in the bedroom if I am in another room. Bash alias "wakywaky"
5. Map Caps Lock to Esc
Just do it. Useful if you are a vimmer.
6. Vimium
Useful if you are a vimmer.
7. A simple text file to track TODO's with vim
Vim makes it super easy to track TODO items. No plugin required. You can move around and makes changes quite fast.

- sciurus 12y agoRelated to #7, I use a shell alias to open vim with three splits: alias wl="vim -o $HOME/worklog/{todo,progress,done}" Tasks flow down the splits. If you'd prefer tasks to go left-to-right, use `-O`.
- saurabh 12y agoNice. I am stealing this. I have the leader mapped to <Space>. And I move around splits and tabs using this. "New horizontal split nmap <leader>s :split<CR> "New vertical split nmap <leader>v :vsplit<CR> "New tab nmap <leader>t :tabe<CR> "Easy close nmap <leader>q :q<CR> " Split navigation nmap <leader>j <C-W>j nmap <leader>k <C-W>k nmap <leader>h <C-W>h nmap <leader>l <C-W>l "Tabs like Vimium noremap <S-j> :tabprevious<CR> noremap <S-k> :tabnext<CR>
- ejstronge 12y agoYou should check out `:help CTRL-W_v` and most of `:help opening-window` in general; the first few of your shortcuts are already in Vim by default. I had similar shortcuts until a serendipitous trip into the help docs.
- saurabh 12y agoYou are right. I used to use them but pressing Ctrl was a pain in the pinky finger. :sp and :vs is 2 more keys to press. Using Space as a leader makes everything available at the flick of my thumb. I rarely ever move my eyes to the command pane. I forgot to mention that I have mapped Space+P to CtrlP fuzzy finder. That too is a one pinch like operation, even though it requires two keypresses.
- lenage 12y agoAlso related to #7, I use Todo txt(http://todotxt.com http://todotxt.com), and also create an alias to switch to my project folder cd ~/my/project/path && todo -+@ ls +project that will show my TODO list
- ramoq 12y agoGive Planleaf a shot for (7). I use it to track everything. Just send an email to tasks@planleaf.com with a blank subject line and enter your tasks starting with a dash in the body. It will append to a personal todo list. Rinse and repeat. It sends awesome daily digests on all my tasks :)
- notduncansmith 12y agoI don't find myself needing Esc very often in Vim. Then again, I do have jk mapped to Esc, and ;; maps to Esc: which is usually why I want to leave insert mode in the first place. I have Caps Lock mapped to Alt instead, which pairs nicely with various app hotkeys (Alt+T for iTerm2, Alt+E for Sublime, Alt+S for Skype, Alt+Space to pop Alfred, etc), plus the Cmd+Alt+whatever bindings for various things.
- mjdwitt 12y agoMoreover, pressing alt while in insert mode causes the next key to run as if pressed in normal mode. I usually use this instead of escape for those times when I don't want to go into command mode. One caveat, however. I recently switch to OS X and have yet to figure out how to get alt/option to behave this way. Really my only major gripe about OS X vs. linux.
