Add better keybindings for mouse usage (one hand on keyboard)
When using a mouse the default navigation keybindings (super+,/.
) are difficult to use, as ,/.
is not on the same side on the keyboard as super
.
This becomes very noticeably when using the clutter-dnd branch which allows navigation while dragging windows.
The dvorak keyboard layout have ,/.
positioned at w/e
which is close to ideal for one handed use. super+w/e
aren't used for anything else (by paperwm or gnome shell) so we should add these to the default keybindings.
I would look in to Saka key for inspiration.
Super-WASD? Does anything use those? :)
Yeah, Super-A
opens the applications view and Super-S
opens the overview.
vimkeys?
We'll probably not do vim keys by default (nothing against vim, I'm a vim user myself), but we've thought about having some simple toggles so it's easy to get different keybinding styles.
I just tried mapping super-h and super-l to window left/right - didn't work.
Super-L locked my screen, whoops. Super-H moves to scratch (and I can't get it to register during set either)
Right, since the shortcut is already taken the accelerator widget never receives the combo. You should be able to add it via eg. dconf-editor though (and paperwm will do the necessary work to «steal» the action, with some caveats).
Closing as PaperWM now has a (fairly) mature keybinding implementation (via PaperWM settings) that allows users to modify keybindings to suit their needs.
