#keybinds #system #vscode
Why bother: I feel most default keybindings are basically acceptible, but spend an unreasonable amount of time fiddling with them, identifying their inconsistencies, and re-assinging them, in the interest of fitting my usage patterns better. Some of this ends up as time wasted, as I forget where I put things, or transfer my key binding preferencs to new systems. This document is intended as my reference for all my key binding nonsense.
Goal 0: explicitly label my keybinds to make them easier to remember, and to reproduce across frequently used applications (Vs code, Obsidian) Goal 1: prefer default vim and GTK/VScode bindings, where possible Goal 2: identify where my preferences, vim, and GTK bindings collide and resolve the collisions. Identify the dead and useless keys in the default maps, and optionally replace them.
Notes VS code vim mode doesn't expose the vim functions as re-bindable. What work around? Obsidian's vim mode is colliding with basic functions (eg. Copy). Work around?
Key default vi (default vscode) ((default extension)) mine + - don't use enough, would like to use more ? - empty bind ! - Can't bind something ? - skeptical, may change op - operator, follow with other keys
todo:
- M - exec vim macro - how do? Might have to install an extension should bind
- bind snippets to f1?
- workspace commands
- open new window commands
- git merge commands
- todos and readme manager
- snippet creation
- reserve f1 for workspace operator tasks
Useful VS code modules:
- Vim
- Surround selection - to surround selections, by pressing s
- surround (heavily snippet customizeable)- surround with user defined templates; discard the defaults and make my own? Note to look up whether surround Rust exists, might already
- File utils: rename, delete, and do other things you would expect to be default functionality
