Selecting whole words with the keyboard is more natural when the modifier for such action is as close to the arrow keys as possible.

HAMMERSPOON FN KEY PC

PC folks making their way to the mac have to contend with a huge divide in keyboard conventions and cursor movement. On the PC, Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert and Shift+Delete are key kit. Besides poor mouse choices on the market, Mac folks have the curse of right hand only for cut/copy/paste on keyboard. This says for the home key send Command+Left normally, but in browsers, Virtualbox and MS RDP pass through the home key and in Terminal (another special snowflake) send Alt+Left.

To have this work in all contexts (browsers are special snowflakes), there is this mapping in a: It's like the REALLY didn't want you to do that. Enter that name exactly into the mapping, replacing spaces with underscores.įor example, moving the cursor to the begining or the ending of the line is tricking on a Mac. In a you will see that Alt+a has been mapped to a Hammerspoon function that displays the app name. But first you need to know the internal application name. You can have each app get a different set of keypresses. If you already have Hammerspoon, rename a to a before copying into ~/.hammerspoon, then edit your a and add the following: InstallationĬreate a directory: ~/.hammerspoon and put all files there. I also do a ton of work through remote servers with Microsoft Remote Desktop. Oh, and I really need to be productive on a mac but live in PC land much of the time for Visual Studio work (hey at least that work is in a VM on a mac now). This is a labor of love for a left hand mouser who needs a ten key and therefore REALLY REALLY wants cut/copy/paste functions on the right hand. My hammerspoon Lua scripts bring PC key bindings to the mac (and other useful goodies)
