@ -6,6 +6,15 @@ Some background is important to understand my keybinding choices -
1. I use modifier-less bindings wherever possible. Hydra and modal editing make up most of my interaction with Emacs.
2. I use Kmonad to have Space act as Control when held. This makes Control the modifier which disrupts the typing position the least. It is also held with the thumbs - the strongest digits - reducing fatigue. So if I must use a modifier, I use Control.
3. I use the Dvorak layout.
4. I've used Vim and Evil for the longest time, but I like Boon's movement layout best -
* QWERTY IO move up and down
* QWERTY KL move left and right in small units (characters), and
* QWERTY J; move left and right in larger units (words or s-expressions)
This has several benefits over HJKL -
1. To move left, the wrist need not to be angled awkwardly to sit on QWERTY HJKL (which also means the keyboard tactile nub on J does not sit under the index finger),
2. ...nor need the finger make an awkward jump to QWERTY H on each left-moving operation.
3. The relaxed position of the fingers placed on a flat surface is a curl, not a line, which is reflected in Boon's default JIO; position.
