三月 12, 2022 [macOS, keymapping] #macOS #keymappingkarabiner-elements
使用命令行/vim/emacs等键盘操作比较多的用户，有一点感触就是：小拇指很容易累。本人起初不喜欢修改键盘映射，主要原因是定制化比较多的系统，在团队合作时互相操作会不方便，无论是自己偶尔在别人电脑上使用或者别人在自己的电脑上使用，都会不习惯。ORZ最后因为vim经常使用ctrl键，左小拇指开始疼痛，了解了一些腕管综合征知识(xahlee.info) 囧，决定把几个常用的键映射一下。最近在使用的系统是macOS，这里就先记录一下使用到karabiner-elements的键盘映射。 这里尽量不修改键盘原来功能，而是将不常用的键直接映射为经常使用的功能。
Simple Modifications
尽量少的修改键盘映射，让偶尔同事使用电脑操作时可以正常使用，这里只进行了right_command > right_control的映射，解决使用ctrl键的问题，这样常用的command和ctrl键都使用大拇指操作，大大减少了小拇指的压力 ..
complex modifications
- 需要解决的是经常需要enter键，对有小拇指的压力压力也比较明显，因此同时修改了enter的映射，如果只按压right_control，那么会映射为return_or_enter(这个真的挺合理，毕竟一般control键是和别的键搭配使用的，单独按压不影响原来的功能，赞)。
- 如果只按压left_command，那么会映射为escape.
- 另一个就是经常需要ctrl+p 进行选择上一个的功能，比如翻看命令行的历史记录，vim/emacs补全时的上下选择，使用了command + h/j/k/l。
- 最后一个向前删除还没有找到特别合适的映射。
