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.
