cursors

I just realized: using alt to mouse-select multiple cursors in VS Code does not trigger the OSL to fall back. Is that a task I do with the dictionary instead? No, dictionary can’t help there. HMM! Perhaps a key on the symbol layer that does a TO(BASE). yup, that works! I’ve also printed out some cheat-sheets, and now I guess nothing is stopping me from developing some muscle memory… I’ve started a tiny bit of coding with steno.Read More...

A few things I noticed in practice tonight tapping the OSL key doesn’t let me alt-tab with impunity, but holding it does. my custom nav layer doesn’t support select-all, cut, copy, paste, undo, or redo. I wonder again if I should record the number of times I use a feature in a day, and put those at the front and center. oh, also ctrl-backspace (or alt-bsp and cmd-bsp on mac).Read More...

Last night / this morning I read a lot about how QMK works with layers. Then I worked up keymaps for both the Butterstick and the Georgi! The first milestone is complete: I can successfully alt-tab any number of times! Next milestones: make the nav layer key (and fn layer key) momentary-layers (like OSL, but that didn’t seem to work immediately). OSL(layer) - momentarily activates layer until the next key is pressed.Read More...

I adopted a nav/command dictionary that I found on the internet. I have by now also read the section in Learn Plover! about dictionaries, so I feel well-equipped to start tabbing my way around. The only real trouble is (on a Windows machine) I keep this repo checked-out to a directory in WSL2, which is not (easily) accessible from Windows, where I’ve installed Plover. Whoops. Ok, I realized (again) that this will not solve all my nav use cases.Read More...
