Hi Fellow Sublimers!
Is there a way to have the CAPS LOCK key lock into cursor navigation mode?
Ideally, I’d like to hit the caps lock key to lock into cursor navigation mode from which I can hit H, J, K, L to move the cursor around.
For example, this would be the ideal behavior:
- Hit CAPS LOCK.
- Press H, J, K, L to move the cursor left, down, up, right.
- Hit CAPS LOCK to exit cursor navigation mode.
- Type as you normally would
If using CAPS LOCK is not possible, I’ll be happy with holding CTRL+J+K or something similar. The important thing is being able to lock into navigation / edit mode (but without all the bells & whistles that come with Vintage Mode).
Why not Vintage? I’ve always been fascinated by VIM, but never had the chance to try it. I’d like to try Vintage eventually, however I feel there’s quite a few hurdles for me:
- Somewhat steep learning curve.
- Vintage mode docs seem sparse.
- Vintage mode != VIM
All three of these combined makes it extremely difficult for someone like me (who has never used VIM) to dive into Vintage. I don’t know enough VIM to simply jump into Vintage. I can’t lookup Vintage docs because it seems incomplete. And I can’t lookup VIM docs because Vintage isn’t exactly VIM.
I will eventually try Vintage mode though, but first I just would like to try to ease into things by customizing it as described above.
Is that possible?
