I’ve been looking for a long time for a solution to not having a desk, or room for one. This tiny bedside table barely fits anything… I was using a regular mouse on the bed and dangling a regular keyboard half off the table, which didn’t work so great as you can imagine lol. Now I’ve got this Ploopy Adept trackball and a FalbaTech Atreus62_FT keyboard. Switched to Colemak-dh layout just to make the transition as jarring as possible 😝
Truth be told, I’m not much of a coder lol. What little I do is mostly all in like VSCode or Kate. Vim is some kind of terminal based editor right? What’s “vim sequence”?
Yes, but there is also VScode vim for example.
The vim keys directional arrows are hjkl on your key board (left down up right) and they are on the homerow, meaning you don’t need to move your hands away as much.
You have a different order but I thought you could use the same as vim, as you’ll find (in programmer’s world anyway) that other programs use these for their directional keys too.
Ahh i see! Do you think that order would also be more suitable for gaming?
Hmm depends on what you’re used to I guess.
Ok, so i almost took your advice. I made it “left up down right”. It feels much more natural for me than “left down up right”, I think for two reasons: 1, I’m left-handed and usually have my left hand on the mouse, and 2, the staggering makes this up key physically further forward than the down key. But it does feel much better than what I had before, thanks!
