sockfiles 🧦

My dotfiles. Mac OS based.

Homebrew

I've included a dump of the tools/apps that I use within the Brewfile.

Keyboard

Vim mode can be a pain with the default Mac keyboard. To make it much more pleasant I use Karabiner Elements. My configuration for it is included within these dotfiles.

You can install it yourself via;

brew install karabiner-elements

Once you have it up and running open the configuration panel and make the following modifications;

• "Change caps_lock to left_control if pressed with other keys, change caps_lock to escape if pressed alone."

  You will need to import this from the website via the "Complex Modifications" section.

  This is the most important one. It has a dramatic impact on your Neovim/Vim experience and will save you from visiting a doctor with a warped pinky finger.

• "Change right_command+hjkl to arrow keys"

  This is by default bundles with Karabiner, you can add the rule via the "Complex Modifications" section.

  Also a great addition, no more need to try and find those annoying arrow keys and completely lose track of your finger placement.

Mac OS Fixes

Make sure to disable the following settings so that C-space keyboard shortcuts work.
