:apple: A Lua module providing system-wide emacs and vim keybindings for macOS

hybrid

System-wide hybrid emacs/vim keybindings for macOS.

Usage

1. Download hammerspoon: http://www.hammerspoon.org/.
2. Clone the repo into your ~/.hammerspoon/ directory.
3. Add the module in your init.lua hammerspoon config file.

-- init.lua 
-- @see: ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua

-- Including the hybrid module
local hybrid = require("hs-hybrid")

Enable and disable hybrid mode with cmd + esc when hammerspoon is running. When you press esc, you will enter vim normal-mode. By default you are in emacs-mode, which functions as vim insert-mode, with the addition of emacs keybindings.

Motivation

The motivation behind this repo is that I get annoyed when I can't use vim or emacs keybindings in my daily computer use. This lua script for hammerspoon was made to provide system-wide, vim and emacs keybindings akin to those offered in spacemacs.

insert-mode for vim has all of the emacs keybindings by default. Pressing esc in this mode will let you enter the modal normal-mode for vim.
