Have you ever wondered if your keyboard shortcuts are set up optimally? Well, I did, so I decided to visualize it with a heat-map.
It proved to me that I rely on my left pinky too much, so I'll try to rework my shortcuts.
You can check out the project here, currently it only works on Linux.

I have it mapped to control

Some people use caps lock instead shift for capital letters

I see this all the time when the person first learned to type on a touchscreen keyboard.

I assume the red is the least used.

Looks like somebody relies on caps locked a little too heavily. Or as you might say, STOP FUCKING SHOUTING ALL THE TIME!

I don’t know what this is at all, every one knows ctrl and alt is where it’s at and enter/ caps lock? Are you just trying to piss people off?

I'm using a tiling window manager and neovim as my main editor, so I have to use hot-keys quite a lot As for the caps, I have it remapped to control

What's the Meta key? Is that like the Super key?
andnekon@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y
I thought it meant the same, Meta/Super/Windows
I saw these used in documentation interchangeably

Meta, Hyper, and Super were all originally different keys. See this lisp machine keyboard from in the 70s that had 7 modifiers, including all of those. Most of the time Hyper or Super are mapped to the Windows key. With Meta it varies more from program to program. A lot of desktop software maps it to the Windows key. In Emacs its usually mapped as Alt or the Esc key.

Thank you for clarification!
I don't really understand how can specific programs map the Meta key as something. Isn't it the job of the driver to map key-presses to input events (which are then passed to display server by
evdev)?underscores@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y
I'm not sure if it's directly mapping the input. I think it's getting the other keys input and binding it to the same commands. Also, Emacs was around even before the X windowing system, so they probably came up with the mappings before a lot of these common defaults came about.

You basically get to choose which modifier key you want to use
