inoremap jk <esc>
inoremap kj <esc>
home row escape key that is faster than jj (which i used for a long time) as you can just mash both keys at the same time and it will get you out of insert mode. Has the benefit of being a nop in normal mode too.

I was wondering if this is even an issue with something like a retina display… Anyone know?

I just realized you can search tags and commit histories with fzf in vim.. (:Tags and :Commits) Very cool.

I like the idea of this - especially for apps where rails is implemented more as an api server. I’ll be wanting to take a look at this asap. The fact that this is possible really highlights, IMO, that the the client and server can and should be neatly decoupled.

I’ve been doing that of late by adding another repo… and a csrf exception. I guess I interpreted this as a move by rails to decouple and play a bit better with front-end frameworks. We’ll see! I’m with you though in that I’m kind of liking separate repos for front and back ends

There is, of course, the ever classic alternative: Caps Lock! Specifically, rebinding Caps Lock to Escape, or have it pull double-duty as both a control key and escape.

I haven’t upgraded to Sierra yet, but Karabiner Elements may work although a “double setup” for a key may not be supported. Am curious to hear how you get on.

That works pretty well, but I prefer to Control on Caps (with Backspace on left control, and Caps moved across to Backspace). Makes both chord-ing and editing easier in general. Still haven’t found a good place for Escape instead. Maybe switch with tilde? Just close enough to reach without moving my entire hand, far enough away to not knock?

That’s what I do, I never use caps lock anyway. :)

I like using inoremap jk <Esc> instead of inoremap jj <Esc>. It’s quicker to hit two keys in quick succession and it has the benefit of being mostly being a no-op in normal mode since you just go down a line and then up a line; which is nice if you have a nervous habit of returning to normal mode even though you might already be in it.
-
I am a big fan of using jk, and like you have never run into any issues where I need to type “jk” in insert mode. I recently switched to spacemacs, where they introduce a default of “fd” which I have found similarly ergonomic.
-
So doing that would cause typing ‘jk’ in insert mode to return you to normal mode? What would happen if you actually wanted to type ‘jk’?

Interesting! Where did you hear of this? :)

It was mentioned at Seattle Lean Coffee by one of the participants there. :)

I stumbled across this video (and demo) and was hoping there’d be more of a thread here on lobste.rs.
I’d highly recommend viewing! I particularly appreciated the visualization of showing blocks of different sizes. I was somehow caught up on the idea that blocks needed to be the same size. Now I can better appreciate the idea of timed block releases.
