Ergonomic modal keybinding minor mode
xah-fly-keys is a efficient keybinding for emacs. (more efficient than vim) It is a modal mode like vi, but key choices are based on statistics of command call frequency. -------------------------------------------------- MANUAL INSTALL put the file xah-fly-keys.el in ~/.emacs.d/lisp/ create the dir if doesn't exist. put the following in your emacs init file: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/") (require 'xah-fly-keys) (xah-fly-keys-set-layout "qwerty") ; required possible layout values: adnw azerty azerty-be beopy bepo carpalx-qfmlwy carpalx-qgmlwb carpalx-qgmlwy colemak colemak-mod-dh colemak-mod-dh-new dvorak koy neo2 norman programer-dvorak pt-nativo qwerty qwerty-abnt qwerty-no (qwerty Norwegian) qwertz workman (xah-fly-keys 1) -------------------------------------------------- HOW TO USE M-x xah-fly-keys to toggle the mode on/off. Important command/insert mode switch keys: xah-fly-command-mode-activate (press 【】 or 【F8】 or 【Alt+Space】 or 【menu】) xah-fly-insert-mode-activate (when in command mode, press qwerty letter key f. (Dvorak key u)) When in command mode: 【f】 (or Dvorak 【u】) activates insertion mode. 【Space】 is a leader key. For example, 【SPACE r】 (Dvorak 【SPACE p】) calls query-replace. Press 【SPACE C-h】 to see the full list. 【Space Space】 also activates insertion mode. 【Space Enter】 calls execute-extended-command or alternative. 【a】 calls execute-extended-command or alternative. The leader key sequence basically replace ALL emacs commands that starts with C-x key. When using xah-fly-keys, you don't need to press Control or Meta, with the following exceptions: C-c for major mode commands. C-g for cancel. C-q for quoted-insert. C-h for getting a list of keys following a prefix/leader key. Leader key You NEVER need to press Ctrl+x Any emacs command that has a keybinding starting with C-x, has also a key sequence binding in xah-fly-keys. For example, 【C-x b】 switch-to-buffer is 【SPACE f】 (Dvorak 【SPACE u】) 【C-x C-f】 find-file is 【SPACE i e】 (Dvorak 【SPACE c .】) 【C-x n n】 narrow-to-region is 【SPACE l l】 (Dvorak 【SPACE n n】) The first key we call it leader key. In the above examples, the SPACE is the leader key. When in command mode, the 【SPACE】 is a leader key. the following standard keys with Control are supported: ;; 【Ctrl+tab】 'xah-next-user-buffer ;; 【Ctrl+shift+tab】 'xah-previous-user-buffer ;; 【Ctrl+v】 paste ;; 【Ctrl+w】 close ;; 【Ctrl+z】 undo ;; 【Ctrl+n】 new ;; 【Ctrl+o】 open ;; 【Ctrl+s】 save ;; 【Ctrl+shift+s】 save as ;; 【Ctrl+shift+t】 open last closed ;; 【Ctrl++】 'text-scale-increase ;; 【Ctrl+-】 'text-scale-decrease To disable both Control and Meta shortcut keys, add the following lines to you init.el before (require 'xah-fly-keys): (setq xah-fly-use-control-key nil) (setq xah-fly-use-meta-key nil) I highly recommend setting 【capslock】 to send 【Home】. So that it acts as `xah-fly-command-mode-activate'. see How to Make the CapsLock Key do Home Key http://ergoemacs.org/misc/capslock_do_home_key.html If you have a bug, post on github.
