text/gemini # better arrow keys I recently purchased a secondhand HHKB. Its a 60% keyboard that doesn't have hardware arrow keys. => https://gh.smol.pub/hhkb.png Ordinarily the arrow keys are bound to ``` ⬅️ = Fn + : ⬇️ = Fn + ? ⬆️ = Fn + [ ➡️ = Fn + " ``` This is not ergonomic at all and I found it very difficult to get used to. I eventually settled on what I think is the best binding: First bind Capslock to Ctrl Then use vim bindings to navigate ``` ⬅️ = Ctrl + h ⬇️ = Ctrl + j ⬆️ = Ctrl + k ➡️ = Ctrl + l ``` These are my default bindings on all my machines now. I used KaribinerElements to do this in MacOS and xbindkeys in Arch.
