feature requert: vim style key mapping config
wis opened this issue · comments
I love this program, but it's quite qwertynormative.. and I use the Colemak mod DH keyboard layout.
let's make it inclusive for qwerty nonconforming folks. :)
I have a fork with hardcoded Colemak keybindings: https://github.com/hberntsen/pulsemixer . Would be nice to have official support for this.
Should be doable via config now.
See the [keys] section.
@GeorgeFilipkin awesome, I appreciate you making the program and now adding this feature,
though this is not exactly vim style key binding;
I would like to map
mode1 = <C-o> ; Output
mode1 = <C-i> ; Input
mode3 = <C-c> ; Cardsthe reason is I would like to keep my hands on the home row of the keyboard by not moving them to the distant function keys, the same reason I use pulsemixer and avoid GUI's (to keep my hands off the mouse).
Well, combinations are a bit trickier. You also have to take into accout that C-i is basically Tab so that would create conflict with next-mode = KEY_TAB.
But I'll see what I can do.
6fa03d7 brings limited support for C-key M-key binds.
You can put them in config like this: next-mode = KEY_TAB, C-n, M-e
- Currently only supports printable keys, i.e. C-<character> will work, but binds with special keys like C-KEY_UP won't work.
- C-c is still bound to
SIGINT. - C-i still counts as Tab.
@wis I haven't tested this on non-qwerty layouts so you'll have to check if it's working properly.
great, works on my tens in a billion keyboard layout as it should because you're not binding to scancodes.
since C-i and C-c still can't work, I used the closest letters to the first phonemes as a mnemonic instead.
mode1 = KEY_F1, C-o
mode2 = KEY_F2, C-n
mode3 = KEY_F3, C-kbut I don't think that I will use them, since I found out the tab switches between modes, I've have the tab key mapped to the key next to my thumb (a super key when long pressed), I always keep my second thumb on the key next to the spacebar, even though I have a normal keyboard, can't wait to get a keyboard like the ergodox or a split 40% keyboard.
even though I won't use it, can you add prev-mode for the sake of completeness.

Done.
prev-mode in config, bound to Shift+Tab by default.
