Karabiner layouts for symbols and navigation

Gavin Sinclair, January 2022

Introduction

I use Karabiner (configured with Gosu) to make advanced key mappings on my Apple computer. Karabiner allows you to create “layers”, perhaps simulating those on a programmable mechanical keyboard. I make good use of these layers to give me easy access (home-row or nearby) to all symbols and navigational controls, and even a numpad.

The motivation is to keep hand movement to a minimum. Decades of coding on standard keyboards has unfortunately left me with hand and wrist pain. I will soon enough own a small split keyboard which will force me to use layers to access symbols etc., so this Karabiner solution, which has evolved over months, is a training run for that.

The rise of new shells

One of the biggest improvements to my terminal experience was the switch from [Bash] to [Zsh]. The reason for this is the astonishing amount of completions provided by the community. As well as something I didn't know of before: menu completion. A mode where you can cycle through the possible values. But like [vim] [Zsh] is quite tough on new users.

Then there was [Fish]. A shell that is more accessible to new users and thus calls itself friendly. But one major catch: the break from [POSIX]. This is actually a good thing yet the lack of completions at the time prevented me to make the switch.

Now there is a new generation of shells that allow passing structured data through a pipe. This is a major thing and well worth its own article.
