A non-modal Vim-like navigation bindings for Karabiner-Elements. It avoids getting confused about which mode you are in, but retains typical vim-like motions.
It is based on harmtemolder's Vim Mode Plus.
It works by assigning the "normal mode" to holding caps lock, enabling typical normal-mode motions like h j k l. Only simple motions are supported.
(incomplete)
While holding down caps lock, the following actions are supported:
| key | action |
|---|---|
h |
move left |
j |
move down |
k |
move up |
l |
move right |
e |
move forward to end of word (option + right arrow) |
b |
move back to beginning of word (option + left arrow) |
0 |
move to beginning of line (cmd + left arrow) |
0 |
move to end of line (cmd + right arrow) |
v |
mark entire line (triple left mouse click?) |
All should work with shift to select.
