If none works for you, make a new one and submit a pull request with your ideal configuration.\n\n# Contributing\n\nIf you have strong opinions about one particular arrangement of bindings, open a pull request with your proposal.  \nAnything goes as long as it respects the function pattern above.  \nAdditional suffixes are also welcome.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funode%2Fhomerow.vim","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Funode%2Fhomerow.vim","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funode%2Fhomerow.vim/lists"}
