Vi like key bindings for MacOS

Inspired by vi like editor keybindings, these Karabiner elements configurations have more or less saved my life, YMMV!

Mappings

With right shift as modifier unless mentioned..

Movement

From	To
h/j/k/l	arrow keys
w/b	word forward/back
a/e	home/end
p/;	page up/down

Editing

From	To
s/c/v/x/z/t/i	send with cmd
m	return
f/d	delete/backspace
space	tab

Other

From	To
cmd+space	escape
y	cmd+w (close tab)
u/o	cmd+shift+[/] (switch tab)
g	cmd+l (focus address bar)

Extras

Have included some extra mappings I find useful in src/extras, install using --with-extras below, some descriptions:

From	To
"+left_shift	double quote wrap selection
q+left_shift	single quote
q	single quote wrap selection
i	./
i+left_shift	../
`	~/

Installation

Install Karabiner elements, then..

clone https://github.com/tom-power/right-shift-vi-like-karabiner.git &&
cd ./right-shift-vi-like-karabiner &&
sh/install.sh [--with-extras]

Alternatively, import the modifications from Karabiner-Elements site rules.

For both methods the rules will need to be loaded in the Karabiner elements UI:

Preferences -> Complex Modifications -> Add rule -> right shift vi like -> Enable all

Suggest to bind capslock to left cmd too:

Preferences -> Simple Modifications -> Add item -> from -> caps_lock -> to -> left_cmd
