Looks nice. Although one thing I personally moved to is to have the templater/manager be actual code in the repo. Mine is written in Go. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/magef...) I always found templaters or managers to not do some one thing and extending the tool to do the thing wasn't always nice.

I agree. More than that, all keys belong to center of the keyboard or minimum one layer up. In my keyboard, all keys are modifier keys so even keys I type will do actions if held for little. It's awesome. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab...

Tekezo [released a new build](https://twitter.com/tekezo/status/1303725699061092352) for [Karabiner Elements](https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements) that works on latest macOS. It's super powerful tool to rebind keybindings especially when combined with [Goku compiler](https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo) that transforms few lines of edn into 1,000s lines of JSON. My config in JSON is more than 30,000 lines but in edn is [just 800 lines](https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karabiner/karabiner.edn).

Ones I have an alias for (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/a...) So mostly exa, rg, the usual. + some ones I wrote myself recently like https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/gitupdate and https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/learning/blob/master/go/sa...

Every key on my keyboard is custom hyper key. My config: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... Article to explain how to achieve this: https://medium.com/@nikitavoloboev/karabiner-god-mode-7407a5...

I have a bind (3+n) to open notes.md file in Sublime Text I can drop things into. Although I don't use it much as often I can write notes directly under some topic in my wiki. It usually fits under some of the 840+ topics I have https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM... On mobile, I take quick notes with Telegram's Saved Messages. This kind of question has been asked many times before on HN and elsewhere. Here are some links I collected around note/wiki management. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/other/wiki-workflow#links Oh and for effortless sharing of notes, I use my tool gitupdate to automatically push changes made to my folder of notes. i.e. here is a commit where I add this very thread to my wiki under `wiki-workflow.md` topic. To do it, I pressed two buttons (`+v) (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/bl

Just recently read this nice comment about whether vim makes you faster. > I only care about reducing friction, and Vim's editing language is very good at that. From https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/hg37kq/question_how_mu... So Karabiner to me is in the same category. It removes literally all frictions I have in interfacing with my computer. I can activate ANY app I use on my mac in less than 1 second (two key taps). On iPad that would require multiple gestures unless the apps were not recently used. Have you used Karabiner hyper keys? You might misunderstand just how powerful it is. For example I have all keys on my keyboard be custom hyper keys. That means I have around 30 modifier keys with 30+ keys mapped to each modifier with access of < 1 second away from me. And it's not just Karabiner that iPad lacks. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro

I usually comment with the same thing on these tip threads. And that is learn to rebind your keyboard. Make each key programmable modifier. Open apps, run scripts/macros instantly. My Karabiner config: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... I go as far as binding keys to instantly type `console.log()` or `fmt.Println()` or the other language equivalent with my dot modifier key. Plus typing things like `Thank you` with dot+spacebar press. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... The other tip that paid off in time is starting a wiki. And building an interface to access contents of the wiki instantly. Wiki: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge Interface: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind

a + space will google selected text. Use it 100's of times a day. Defined with karabiner: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... The other ones would probably be app switching like w+k to open safari or w+l to open VS Code.

All my bookmarks live in my wiki. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/ Searched and parsed with Alfred workflow. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind The bookmarks are links under ## Links heading of any markdown file. Here are few with some links https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go/go-... https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/machine-learning There is lots more. Around 16,000 lines of markdown in the wiki now. Writing the code to meaningfully parse it now. https://mobile.twitter.com/nikitavoloboev/status/12165452379... Here are all the topics included in the wiki. Enough to learn for a life time. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM... Oh and the wiki of course does not include private links. Those live in my main browser (Safari) and

Life changing tool. All my keys are custom hyper keys so there are 1000+ actions available to me in less 1 second. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab...

I avoid this slowdown by mapping every single app I use to a two key binding. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... i.e. w+l opens VS Code. w+k opens Safari and so on. It's instant, no lag at all. I also bind four finger swipes to open top apps with BetterTouchTool. i.e. four finger swipe up opens Safari, swipe right = VS Code, swipe left = iTerm.

I have a personal list of macOS apps I use that is similar & goes in detail in how I use the apps. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-mac-os Karabiner specifically is life changing software. At this point ALL keys on my keyboard are custom modifier keys. It's wild. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab...
