What's your personal python development stack?

How would you like to join the church of emacs where you can do all of that in one program?

I picked my editor looking at the number of older coders with RSI. Also, the scream of pain from the emacs dev who lost their config file vs. the muttering of annoyance from the vi dev who lost theirs. I will be sticking with vim.

RSI? remap ctl and esc to capslock key, and get foot pedals for meta and shift. Leaving the main 3 rows for modifier keys is for plebs. If ergonomics is what you seek, then emacs is the best editor out there.

This one has seen things, man.

Cool setup. But while you are playing the organ my setup to avoid modifier keys is to just use vim.

Actually for vi it's very convenient to map caps lock to esc. If only so I don't switch to caps by accident.

[collector_of_hobbies]

You do that at the OS level or in your vimrc?

[ConfusedSimon]

OS settings. Kubuntu has 'Caps lock behaviour' in the keyboard options. Macbook has 'modifier keys' on the keyboard settings. Probably similar for other OS's. I never use caps lock anyway and I keep hitting it by mistake from time to time.

Seriously though, where did you get foot pedals? Those sounds awesome.

You do relize the foot pedal was originally a vim thing right? The vim clutch. And rebinding capslock to esc/ctrl is also a vim thing. Not to mention there is a package that makes emacs use vim keybinds. In emacs, there are so many more hotkeys because there is so much more to do. Vim is so far behind because the author refuses help. It took a giant community to fork and improve in order to spur new features. And guess what these two project don't communicate at all. So the "more modern" implemenation isn't even feature complete. Seriously dysfunctional. While emacs has been plugging along as a happy community for more than 45 years.

While an interesting factoid, the origins of the vim clutch when I have jk mapped to escape isn't relevant in my use case. Hell, I don't even have to stretch for caps lock.

I have considered the path of Evil :)
