Vi like key bindings for Linux and X11

Inspired by vi like editor keybindings, these autokey scripts have more or less saved my life, YMMV!

Mappings

With right shift/hyper as modifier, can be combined with other modifiers:

Movement

From	To
h/j/k/l	arrow keys
w/b	word forward/back

Installation

keyboard

The scripts use hyper as modifier, do something like this to add the mapping:

xmodmap -e "remove shift = Shift_R" &&
xmodmap -e "keysym Shift_R = Hyper_R"

autokey

Install autokey, then:

clone https://github.com/tom-power/right-shift-vi-like-autokey &&
cd ./right-shift-vi-like-autokey &&
./install.sh

review in autokey -> Show main window

Notes

run setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps before xmodmap to map capslock to control
