* Configuration files



Content :



- a coherent set of configuration files for my favorite apps.

- little autoloaded functions for vim & neovim



* Keybindings



The keybindings are essentially vim, less or emacs like, depending on

the context. For example :



  - Vim

    + Neomutt index

  - Less

    + Elinks

    + W3m

    + Neomutt pager

    + Newsboat

  - Emacs

    + Zsh

    + Elinks edit mode



** Prefix & Modes



Some applications :



  - Can use an independant keymap introduced by a prefix key

    + tmux

  - Can chain keys

    + sxhkd

  - Can use independant keymap modes

    + i3, tmux, emacs, vim



** Allocation



*** Window Manager



The following keys are reserved for Window Manager (i3, bspwm, ...) :



  - Hyper (Mod3, I bind it to the Menu key) with any key(s)

  - Super (Mod4) with

    + Arrows

    + Page Up / Down

    + Home / End

    + Tab, Backspace

    + F1 .. F12

  - Super (Mod4) with any modifier(s) and same keys as above

  - Super with Control and

    + Any key(s)

  - Prefix chosen among the previous keys

  - Sub mode entered with one or more of the previous keys



*** Applications



The following keys are reserved for applications :



  - Super with all other keys

    + Letters

    + Digits

    + Insert, Delete, Space, Return

    + & @ ^ $ ! ( ) [ ] { } < > ...

  - Super with Shift and same keys as above

  - Prefix chosen among the previous keys

  - Sub mode entered with one or more of the previous keys



** Coherence



To be as intuitive as possible, some conventions are applied :



  - Move focus between desktops :

    + Super + home / end

  - Move focus between X windows :

    + Super + arrows

    + Super + prior (page up) / next (page down)

  - Move focus between tmux panes & vim :

    + Shift + arrows

    + Also in emacs, but not in org files (org-shift)

  - In buffer oriented applications, move focus between buffers :

    + Ctrl + page up / down

  - In tab oriented applications, move focus between tabs :

    + Ctrl + page up / down

    + In pager context : ^ and $

      * w3m, elinks, ...

    + In (neo)vim :  and  in normal mode

  - In buffers & tabs oriented applications like vim with wheel or emacs with torus :

    + Next / previous file in group : Ctrl + page up / down

    + Next / previous group : Ctrl + home / end

  - Move in history

    + In pager context

      * Backspace = back

      * H = back

      * L = forward

    + In REPL context

      * Up, M-p  = back, with typed text as filter

      * Down, M-n = forward, with typed text as filter

  - Filters

    + &, é, è

  - Most Recently Used

    + ù

  - Tree / Structure exploration
