Using Glove80 keyboard.

Using WhatPulse to track keyboard input.

Neovim

My neovim config based on NvChad.

Very poor, need to be improved.

TODO:

1. Try LazyVim, Kickstart, AstroNvim by Lazyman, configure them and compare with NvChad.
2. Find out a set of keybindings that can be used everywhere, equivalent mapping configurations for other IDEs VIM integrations: IdeaVim, VSCodeVim.

Tips:

1. Remap esc.

   • For all keyboard (mainly for Apple Internal Keyboard): remap jk to esc by karabiner.
   • For Glove80 specifically: remap one of the thumb keys to esc by karabiner.
   • In vim(s): inoremap jj <esc> or inoremap jk <esc>.

2. Turn up Key repeat rate and turn down Delay until repeat in System Settings -> Keyboard.

   See .macos.

3. When leaving insert mode, auto switch to english input source (if necessary).

   • By Rime's vim_mode app option, see squirrel.custom.yaml.

4. Remap shift (optional).

   • For all keyboard: remap space to shift by karabiner.

     Don't worry, the original tap and hold (repeat) functions of space are retained.

And using ShowyEdge to notice when input source automatically changes to ABC.
